Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza. Dr. Robyn has been described in many different ways: a scholar-activist, scholar-leader, thought-leader, teacher, public theologian, ethicist, and poet.
Among these ways of describing Dr. Robyn, they are also a visionary thinker who has spent two decades working in the hybrid space of church, academy, & movements seeking to not only disrupt but dismantle supremacy culture by focusing their PhD studies on new concepts of being & becoming, and decolonizing knowledge production.
They enflesh a deep hope of collaborating in these hybrid spaces where their work seeks to contribute to the ongoing work of collective liberation.
