In today's episode of Songs of Summer, Chelsea and Talip chat with musician, trans black pastor, and social worker Cameron Malakai about his song, I'll Sing a Praise to You.
Listen to I'll Sing a Praise to You here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU2OjstttBo
Cameron is a social worker and the lay worship pastor of Zao MKE Church. As a young, black, queer and trans person, Cameron's ministry calling is to build the church into intersectional and queer liberated space. As Zao’s worship pastor, Cameron incorporates many styles of music into worship, so that all feel welcome (this just might include Lizzo’s new hit single!). Cameron is deeply convinced that when words fail, music speaks and brings people together.
You can find Cameron cooking large dinners for his friends, walking by the lake, playing drums in his jazz rock band, or hanging in leftist political spaces trying to break down oppressive systems.
