Faith, Race, and Influence: A Conversation with Myunique Ferguson of @instagramforbelievers

You may not know her name but Myunique Ferguson is the woman behind a popular Christian Instagram account @instagramforbelievers. She is a blogger, youth pastor and reluctant social media influencer who has created a space where more than 80,000 believers access inspiration, hope and community. However, as the country reeled from the heightened focus around race and justice, Myunique discovered that balancing her desire to highlight social justice with her commitment to creating a space for believers to be connected more difficult than anticipated. How does one navigate the desire to show-up fully in the spaces and places where they are called.

Myunique is a woman whose love of God and faith has pushed her to be honest about the things and causes she believes are at the heart of a nation at the cusp of change. She shares with us how she navigated showing the Black face behind the popular Instagram account, the difficulty navigating those who don't want their faith tainted by "politics" and why she believes that her mission and purpose hasn't changed despite the ever-changing times.
