It is important to emphasize that the Spirit embraces Black flesh, Black tongues, Black bodies, and Black gifts. Blacks were the humans most often dehumanized through racialization, and the Spirit hugs them and all flesh with holiness, fire, and power in their particularity, and inspires all to breathe, speak, understand, and dance in joy within community.
