Church folks really make my a– ache. And before you start clutching your pearls or crucifying me, let me finish. Last time I checked, God was the only judge. Yet church folks stay lined up like they are waiting to buy a pair of retro Jordans—finger-wagging, policing appearances, and judging how women specifically show up. Really loud. Really wrong. And with zero self-awareness.

That’s the energy that showed up when Dr. Karri Bryant attended the UNCF Atlanta’s Mayoral Mask Ball in a lace dress that sent the internet spiraling. Let me be clear because facts matter: the dress was elegant, fitted to perfection, and yes, sexy. It was also fully lined with flesh-tone fabric and revealed absolutely nothing. No indecency. Just a beautifully dressed woman supporting higher education and offering up a prayer that would have had the doors of the church wide open.
