In the decades leading up to the Civil War, abolitionists crafted a variety of visual messages about the plight of enslaved people, portraying the violence, familial separation, and dehumanisation that they faced. In response, proslavery southerners attempted to counter these messages either through idealisation or outright erasure of enslaved life. In Hidden in Plain Sight: Concealing Enslavement in American Visual Culture (University of Arkansas Press, 2023), Dr. Rachel Stephens addresses an enormous body of material by tracing themes of concealment and silence through paintings, photographs, and ephemera, connecting long overlooked artworks with both the abolitionist materials to which they were responding and archival research across a range of southern historical narratives. Dr. Stephens begins her fascinating study with an examination of the ways that slavery was visually idealised and defended in antebellum art. She then explores the tyranny—especially that depicted in art—enacted by supporters of enslavement, introduces a range of ways that artwork depicting slavery was tangibly concealed, considers photographs of enslaved female caretakers with the white children they reared, and investigates a printmaker's confidential work in support of the Confederacy. Finally, she delves into an especially pernicious group of proslavery artists in Richmond, Virginia. Reading visual culture as a key element of the antebellum battle over slavery, Hidden in Plain Sight complicates the existing narratives of American art and history. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Hey Sis! Today, I'm continuing the conversation with my Sis Rachel that we started last week. Today's episode may be a little triggering for some of you if you were involved in this type of relationship, so read the show notes and decide if this episode is right for you. Walking away from a toxic relationship doesn't mean everything is going to be great from that point. There is healing work to do. We have to realize that God is the only one who can truly fill our voids, so we can't look for another man to do that In part 2 of this conversation, Rachel tells us all about her healing journey and how she partnered with God. She talks to us about the revelations from God. However, her healing journey wasn't a smooth ride. She learned she really had to trust God in her singleness and surrender her desires for His. Her story is so encouraging because it's a reminder that whatever and whoever God has for you is for you. There's no need to rush. The most important thing is to heal and get it right.  A little about our guest:  Rachel L. Stephens, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker and currently serves as a grief counselor for children and adults. Mrs. Stephens earned a Baccalaureate in Social Work from Rust college in Holly Springs, MS, and a Master's of Social Work from Union University in Jackson, TN. Rachel is active in community organizations that encompass all fields of social work specific to advocating for children and families. She received intensive play therapy training at the Johns Hopkins University's School of Education In Baltimore, MD, and has obtained her certification as a Registered play therapist with the Association For Play Therapy. Rachel is happily married to her husband, Davis, and recently had her beautiful baby boy, John Elijah Sis, part 2 is just as good as part 1. This conversation is so juicy and will be eye opening for many. It may make you realize some things about yourself, and may even make you grateful that you walked away from your previous relationship. Kick off those cute shoes and turn me up in those earbuds, Sis! This is a must listen episode that you won't want to miss. Remember, the gratitude journal challenge is going on now.

Hey Sis! Today's episode may be a little triggering for some of you if you were involved in this type of relationship, so read the show notes and decide if this episode is right for you. Have you ever been in a relationship with someone, yet you were still lonely? Were you ever in a relationship where you were disrespected, degraded, used, and verbally, emotionally, and even financially abused? Have you ever struggled because you did things in a relationship that you weren't proud of just to be seen and loved by a man? Today, we are talking to another one of my sisters from another mister. She is being super vulnerable and sharing all the deets about a past toxic relationship that was a turning point for her. The conversation was so good and deep that I split it into 2 episodes.  In part 1, Rachel takes us through all that she endured in a particular toxic relationship. Rachel believed she was making sacrifices for the sake of building a future with this man. However, he had other plans and took advantage of her kindness and all she was willing to give. A little about our guest:  Rachel L. Stephens, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker and currently serves as a grief counselor for children and adults.
