About Bridget

Allow me to introduce myself...

As a hip-hop theologian, I live at the intersection of the secular and the sacred. I examine hip-hop culture, racial and social activism, holistic lifestyles, African-American spirituality, and Black culture. I also have a background in journalism and marketing. I'm a writer, music connoisseur, Black culture enthusiast, and New Yorker (by way of California😉). 


I love learning, pop culture, and all things storytelling! In fact, it was my love for learning and storytelling that prompted my move from California to New York City to pursue my Master's Degree from Union Theological Seminary. At Union, I examine hip-hop music as a racial and social commentary, intergenerational trauma in the Black community, and a variety of religious practices. This cultural immersion experience not only nurtured my tenacious spirit, but it expanded my communication skillset and widened my creativity lens.


When I'm not creating content for Hip-Hop Theologian or listening to music, I can be found experimenting with new vegan recipes.

Check out my lifestyle blog to learn more about me, and subscribe to my newsletter for reflections on hip-hop theology.
