Black History Month is a time to celebrate and amplify the richness of Black and African-American culture, history, and identity. It’s an opportunity to spotlight the diversity of traditions and beliefs within the Black community.
Tanenbaum’s Faith and Race series honors the ways people live and embrace their religion, spirituality, and beliefs.
Today, we’re honored to feature a reflection from Interfaith Minister-in-Training, Simone Gellizeau, sharing her experience as a Black Quaker.
“Being a Black Friend in America today is nuanced. It is both deeply meaningful and affirming and also comes with challenges. I appreciate our quaker values, the light, equality, justice. They are aligned with the longstanding Black traditions of spiritual resilience and liberation theology.”
If you or someone you know would like to contribute to our Faith and Race series, we encourage you to share your story here.

We honor the invaluable contributions of the Black community in America not just this month, but every day.
