b'This week\\u2019s guest is April Ajoy, viral Tiktok\\u2019r, youTuber and podcaster. She is a \\u201crecovering conservative humorously detoxing religion.\\u201d April had a unique childhood. She was homeschooled and spent half of each year in Pentacostal spaces and the other half traveling the US with her family, singing and evangelizing. Her parents were evangelists and her grandfather was a pastor of a megachurch, so even as a young person April had seen cracks in the traditions and beliefs. She didn\\u2019t see them as systemic, though, only random, separate incidents. Over the next decade, tragedy hits April\\u2019s family and God does not step in to thwart it, a family member comes out to her and she realizes she cannot continue believing much of what white Christianity has painted as \\u201cgood news\\u201d. Today, much of April\\u2019s childhood beliefs have been dissected and thrown out, but she is loving others in a much deeper way. She still considers herself a Christian and is fighting injustices in her own creative way. \\u201cHumor is how I cope with trauma.\\u201d On social media, April tackles\\xa0all\\xa0the difficult subjects\\u2014white supremacy, misogyny, purity culture, the absurd things evangelicals post online and more! She brings levity and fun to serious topics in a way that will make you laugh out and\\xa0that\\xa0is good medicine. Links TikTok
