Abstract
The antiblack violences of this world are harsh and unrelenting, and the assaults are gratuitous. It remains a difficult task for many Black adults to get out of bed every day and to face both the expected and the unforeseen horrors of the day. How much more might this be true for our children? And how might they already be leaning into their own formations of spiritual action in response? Taking seriously, then, how Black children utilize imagination, creativity, and play, I use this meditation to think alongside children as epistemological sources for Black faith, and I turn to questions about how these spiritual technologies might be read as practices of conjure.
