Season 2, Episode 33: When the Unexpected Community is Where You Heal Most

Episode 33 is a Millennial Theologian Takeover!

I am so grateful to welcome theologian Jasmine Logan back on That Social Work Lady along with her colleague Jada Williams.

Jada Williams is in her fourth year of the dual JD/MDiv program at Wake Forest University. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from Young Harris College, where she was a Division II NCAA basketball player and heavily involved in other campus organizations and clubs ranging from Greek life to religious life to residence life. Jada is a certified beekeeper, began her own cheesecake business in 2020, and is a volunteer youth basketball coach in her free time.

To say that Williams is a 21st century Renaissance woman is an understatement!

During episode 33, Williams and Logan take us on a journey of how to build community in spaces that are not necessarily inviting. Williams goes so far as to express that community is not just a people but is also a place and a mindset. Further pushing the envelop of community as a stagnant location, Williams helps us gain a deeper understanding of the radical nature of community and community building. The most surprising element? How unexpected community can be a place where you heal.

Co-host for this episode is Jasmine “Jazz” Logan. Jazz is a third-year student at Wake Forest University School of Divinity. Jazz is from Arizona but most recently lived in Los Angeles, California, before attending WFU School of Divinity. Jazz has aspirations of becoming an ordained minister (denomination pending) and has a passion for teaching the next generation that they are beloved.
