| Summary: | This article seeks to acknowledge the issue of problematic whiteness in listening to Black experiences through reflecting on the poem “Mirroring” by the womanist theologian Doreen Hazel and in the writing of a poem by the author as an artistic piece. Against a feeling of despair about xenophobia, racism, sexism, homophobia, and the way people talk about refugees, the poem seeks to find the light of hope and to imagine the kingdom and how to participate in it. |
