We Don’t Have the Luxury of Slow Waking-- An Interview with Marla Taviano

Marla Taviano talks about her journey from a deeply religious, conservative evangelical Christian background to a more socially aware and activist stance, emphasizing themes of racial justice, deconstruction of faith, and personal growth. Marla, originally living in a predominantly white environment and then in Cambodia for missionary work, recounts her awakening to racial issues following the killing of Trayvon Martin in 2012, leading her to critically reassess her beliefs and the role of white supremacy.
