Cole currently serves as the spiritual teacher in residence with Cornell University’s Office of Spirituality and Meaning Making. She is also the creator of Black Liturgies, a space that integrates spiritual practice with Black emotion. Her debut book, This Here Flesh is a New York Times bestseller and available wherever books are sold.
