41. Smashing the Glass Ceiling with Dr. Kia Moore

Dr. Kia Moore, pastor, community advocate and the first female delegate to the Tennessee Baptist Convention sits down with Tim to discuss racism in public health, black baptist churches, and women in Southern Baptist spaces. Dr. Moore gives her background and what precipitated her speaking with White House officials about how she organized a vaccine drive in black churches in her community. Dr. Moore is a pastor at The Church at The Well in Memphis Tennessee and works as an outreach to her community. She and Tim discuss how racism in medicine created distrust among the black community due to research like the Tuskegee Experiment. Dr. Moore also explains how she combatted that mistrust by using one of the researchers who was a Black woman to educate her community concerning the need for the vaccine. Tim and Dr. Moore explore how Whiteness in medical spaces continues to use myths about people of color that can be dangerous especially to women of color. Dr. Moore also talks about how being the first woman to preach at her childhood church, and later to become the first female pastor at her current church, helped her to see the need for advocacy for other women seeking to become pastors Sponsor: Amoveo Group Dr. Kia Moore's Website Follow us on Instagram // @thenewevangelicals Support the work we do Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
