At heart, I’m a storyteller. I seek to tell important stories about race, religion, and history in as many ways as possible–sometimes that includes writing and commenting on national news outlets. Here are some samples of my work from various media outlets.

News comes at you fast. It’s not just hard to keep up with everything that’s happening, sometimes you don’t know which voices to trust to help you interpret what’s going on. That’s where Footnotes comes in. Jemar curates the week’s current events with a focus on issues related to black communities, justice, and politics. He’ll also offer commentary from a black Christian perspective to help you think through complex issues. Footnotes adds the details you need to be an informed citizen, activist and believer.
I have often said, “White Christian nationalism is the greatest threat to democracy and the witness of the church in the United States today.”
Now there’s a documentary showing and telling why this is true.
I talk to Dan Partland, the director of “God & Country” a feature-length documentary film that “takes a closer look at the dangerous implications and explores how a base of Christians has radically stoked a movement erasing the line between Church and State.”
Partland explains how he approached the delicate tension of truth-telling while still engaging a potentially skeptical audience. He describes how film can be a uniquely effective medium for opening people to dialogue. And we explore the controversy that has already surrounded the film.
See the “God & Country” trailer here.
