<<Now 25 and a doctoral student at Bringham Young University, McGriggs stands out as a vocal critic on the lack of diversity in the Mormon church.>>

<<“We are on the margins,” said McGriggs, referring to women of color. “We are an afterthought after white women and men of color,” she continued. “The last to be accounted for.”>>

<<“Even though policies have been changed we still have this racist history that we’re untangling,” said McGriggs. The number one indicator, she said, is the predominantly white leadership.>>

I might have waited to publish this until I had the degree if I were her, but that is just me.

Maybe, but if they punish her for publishing, she'd have an even bigger story and be an even brighter light into the racism in the Mormon church and culture.

Agreed. She's safe. They would never want a story to come out about how they kicked a Black woman out of BYU for saying that they marginalized Black women.

She's absolutely right and anyone who tries to deny the

existing racism in the mormon church is either brain dead

or in complete denial. I just wonder why she stays in the

church.

Hey, it's not ghawd's fault that she didn't earn enough merit badges in the Pre-Mortal existence!!

What? We don't teach that anymore? When did that change? Oh...

Okay, sorry lady; apparently you're just as White as any other white person..... Hey, that means I am too!!!
