Abuelita Faith: Looking to the Margins with Kat Armas (revist)

This week, Isabela sits down with Kat Armas - a Cuban American writer, theologian, and podcast host. In 2021, Kat released her debut book, Abuelita Faith: What Women on the Margins Teach Us about Wisdom, Persistence, and Strength. Isabela got her hands on this book at the beginning of 2022, and it transformed how she engaged with her faith. 

In this week's episode, Isabela and Kat discuss the book, the importance of having an embodied faith, the centrality of food to our spirituality, and how to hold in tension the harm our faith has inflicted with the hope and liberation it also brings to marginalised communities.
