- Allegria Dilecarta brings Christian love into her activism for justice and disability inclusion.
Today’s generation of Black Christians are letting their walk with Christ shape not just their personal lives, but their public actions and advocacy.
Paige Lewin uses her platforms to encourage Black women to cherish their God-given identity and gifts, seeing every aspect of themselves as intentionally crafted by the Creator.
“Honestly, How to Love Your Afro was born out of a dream I believe God gave me,” she says.
She believes loving one’s natural features is an act of honoring God’s handiwork.
Her encouragement to the Church is to affirm the beauty and culture God has placed within each believer, reflecting the fullness of His creation.
Allegria Dilecarta is a model and Christian activist.
She has used her faith to advocate for racial equality and disability inclusion, seeing justice work as essential to living out the teachings of Jesus.
“When I gave my life to Christ, it was during lockdown, at the peak Black Lives Matter movement,” she recalls.
Her walk with Christ deepened her commitment to serve the oppressed, echoing the heart of Jesus for the vulnerable and marginalized.
“The scripture says ‘Faith without works is dead.’ Yes, we can pray, but what about charity within the local community or speaking to your church about initiating a mission overseas?”
Allegria’s favorite verse, Isaiah 1:17, reminds believers to pursue justice and care for those in need as an act of faithfulness to God.
Together, these young leaders demonstrate faithful commitment to God’s call for justice, dignity, and love.
Let us be inspired by these Christian voices, who demonstrate how Biblical values can fuel both love for neighbor and bold action for justice.
May we seek to honor God by living out faith, hope, and charity in every part of life.
