Author Scholar Minister
Rev. Dr. Crumpton is an organic intellectual who is as serious about Black resistance as she is about Black joy and healing in African American communities. Her new book, We Gon' Be Alright, Healing and Resistance in Black Movement Spaces (2012-2021), explores the practices of care, reflection, and creativity that Black activists employed to heal and resist amidst the sociopolitical turbulence from the Obama era through the first Trump presidency. As a leader in theological education, she is the Director of the Trauma Healing Initiative at McCormick Theological Seminary, a $1M Lilly Endowment Grant program that focuses on the formation of educators and learners for trauma informed and healing centered teaching, learning and community impact. Rev. Dr. Crumpton is also a sought after speaker and thought leader who is dedicated to curating experiences for professional development with community leaders in the public and private sector.
