About the Author

Candace R. M. Gorham is a bold and incisive author whose work fearlessly explores the intersections of race, gender, and spirituality in contemporary society. Drawing from her own experiences as a Black woman navigating faith and identity, she challenges conventional narratives around religion and empowerment. In her groundbreaking book, The Ebony Exodus Project: Why Some Black Women Are Walking Out on Religion—and Others Should Too, Gorham examines the reasons behind a growing movement of Black women disengaging from organized religion, offering a compelling call for spiritual autonomy and self-determination. With a voice that blends scholarly rigor with personal passion, she advocates for liberation from dogmatic constraints, inspiring readers to reclaim their narratives in a world that often marginalizes them. Gorham's writing continues to provoke thought and foster dialogue on the evolving landscape of Black feminism and faith.
