This is your weekly dose of inspiration that’ll support you to build a racially inclusive online business without letting the fear of getting it wrong get in the way. These episodes will provide insights, strategies, and discussions that break down barriers and empower you to navigate the racial equity landscape.
I’m Annie Gichuru, your host as well as a Racial Equity Coach who supports online business owners such as coaches, course creators, membership owners and group program facilitators. It’s my calling in nature and ability to break-down complex and often uncomfortable conversations around race that has seen me teach over 100 online business owners to be more racially inclusive through my online program REPRESENTED.
Be sure to subscribe, rate and review so this podcast can reach more online business owners and begin to not only normalise racial inclusion in the online coaching space but see us actively shift our perspectives.

101. The Intersection of Race and Faith
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
How does the same book that says "the Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to set the oppressed free" get used to keep people in chains?
That's the question at the heart of this Easter Monday episode where I'm unpacking one of the most confronting intersections in history, race and faith and what it means for those of us doing inclusion work today.
This episode is for you whether you have never opened a Bible or whether faith is part of the identity you hold. Because what happened when the Bible was weaponised to justify slavery, what it produced in response and the system that made it all possible, that story does not stay in history. It shows up in our businesses, our communities and our own unconscious patterns right now.
In this episode we cover:
- The deliberate distortion of the Bible to justify slavery and racial hierarchy
- The true story behind the making of the Black church
- Who the Pharisees were and why their system is alive and well today
- What the Bible actually says about liberation and the character of Jesus
- What this means for you and your inclusion work in 2026
