Taking A Stance Without Wearing Pants

As I was leaving my ward building Sunday December 9th, I announced to the bishop and others standing near me "remember that next Sunday is black tie Sunday", so don't act shocked when I stroll into church looking like I'm bout to go to the Christmas Ball with Jesus. I wasn't prepared for what was coming my way as a Sista in this church. On 12/12 a Wednesday facebook, twitter, and the social media highway was all a buzz about the up rising of Mormon Women. Everyone wanted to know who was wearing pants to church on Sunday? At first I thought it was a joke, it was not a joke, these Sista's were serious, they were actually gearing up to wear pants to church, on a Sunday. There was a whole facebook page dedicated to it, the news media was actually covering it, NPR reserved a whole 3 minutes to talk about it, WHAT?<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEhb6XpqRzaGXljyCgv5vzEvPSqk6aO4Z70p0nT0tB0ycaFN_UFGEMW5BQcqUtqXs_nCINf8EeLLU5cUQTMa9CfLanYEoAcAvSQPsocF4uoMphBFdTw9V8JfPU4HrOBE0rZAkO9hNc-g10SZ90Acqg5-fNwzAyli8JaXP6W4HmF-Y_4A7shMzcYtIpVrtWLFV4sepMk=" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc1/576356_10152308265915231_624707034_n.jpg" width="320" /></a><br /><div></div><div><br /></div><div>Sista Laurel and I have both at separate times in our lives worn pants to church we had no idea it was or could be seen as an act of defiance. We certainly had not worn pants in the past to be defiant. We wore pants because that's what we wanted to wear. When I wore my pants no one treated me in a negative manner. No one politely or impolitely for that matter asked me to leave the church because Mormon women don't wear pants. It was just business as usual, the opening prayer got said, the sacrament got passed, and responsibilities got handled. Some people looked at me strange, because it's not typical to see an LDS sister wearing pants to church but nothing rude was said directly to me, and I have yet to hear any reports that were bad. As I pondered the conversations that I'd participated in on facebook, twitter, and within my social circle. I started to feel somewhat fearful as to whether or not I would be judged by some of the women that I loved and respected if I chose not to wear pants to church on Sunday. In my real life, not my Sista Beehive life here in zion. I am very active in my community, I would consider myself a fighter for those who can't or don't know how to fight for themselves. I am one who speaks up, and these days when I speak up it's rarely for me or my children; Usually it's for someone else, someone who feels bullied in some way by  the system, or powers that be. I have even been invited to battles, and joined in only to find myself at the front of the line taking the blows until ultimately I am left alone in a fight I had not planned to participate in except  a friend tearfully asked for me to shoulder a burden, and I obliged.<br /><br />I don't know what a Mormon Feminist is, friends who claim to be have tried to describe the group to me but their description of themselves aren't even the same. So, I still don't really know not 100% what a Mormon Feminist is. For example, I know that I'm a woman, I know that I'm a Mormon, and I know that I'm African American/Black (both terms acceptable to me). I don't know that I am a Mormon Feminist, you understand what I'm saying? Although I've been told several times that I am, (of course I'm scratching my head on this one). As I read comments and had my own discussions it was clear that Mormon Feminist Women should stand together and they wanted all Mormon Women to stand with them they were asking for an act of solidarity. One of my running buddies asked "don't you want equality in the church? Don't you want to feel like you have a voice"? Now, clearly she is a running friend only and we don't attend church together because she would ask me completely different questions. She said "You can get all dressy any time, this Sunday is for Sista's, it's to say I'm here if you need me, I have your back, I got'cha, you know? Letting them know you will stand with them, that's all it's  about."    <b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">REAL TALK: </span></b> I can't do all that in a dress? Where were these Sista's from? I know what the start of a fight looks like when I see one, and this <b><i>is </i></b>the start of a fight. Where I'm from it's better to fight in a pretty dress then to get bet up in one!<br /><br />After contemplating the pants issue I decided to dress up for Jesus. Dressing up for church was what I was taught to do, so I skipped wearing the original boring semi-formal dress that I was going to wear for something with a little more pop. The way that we dress in our church has been an adjustment for me as well, while it's not my desire to wear pants I like dressing up a little more then we do in our faith (especially in Utah) the women tend to dress a bit more casual then what I was exposed to in my youth. Which isn't completely bad, it's just different and I had to learn to adjust to things here and to this culture. However there are times when I have a desire to <b>DRESS</b> and when the mood hits I break out my "Holiness" outfits. They call attention to themselves, people at church always want to know why I'm so dressed up and I tell them "I dressed up for you and Jesus", they smile, I smile, all is well in zion.<br /><br />I decided that I wasn't going to dress down, but as an act of solidarity I was going to dress up. I wore a sparkly black tea length dress (black for the tragedy that happened in Connecticut), a red belt and red pumps for the season (although Sista Laurel would claim it was for the UofU), a few purple braids & purple eye shadow (you can't tell in the photo) purple for women suffrage: And all my fabulous accessories. In my wonderful outfit, I was prepared to stand next to any Sista that stood in need of a friend. In my red pumps I was ready to stand strong and call out anybody who had a negative thing to say to my Sista who came in her best slacks to worship with us at OUR Fathers House. In the best black dress I could find in my closet Sunday I was prepared. I was unsure and I was afraid, but I was willing to stand with ALL those who stood in need of a Sista and I knew that at the end of whatever fight (should one jump off) there were going to be other RIGHTEOUS Brotha's and Sistas standing with me and my sista(s) who decided to venture into the house of the Lord hoping to glorify His name, in the clothing of their choice, in a space that was comfortable for ALL of God's children.<br /><br /><br />** The good news is we were able to have a conversation with some of our Feminist Mormon Sista's it was eye opening. We got more information about the<b><i> Pants To Church Event</i></b>. What we discovered is there is a place and space for everyone, we just have to be willing to come to the table to have the conversation. The conversation was started it isn't finished yet so we will just leave it at<b><i> to be continued...</i></b><br /><b>The Conversation can be heard here on SiZ Radio: <a href="http://m.blogtalkradio.com/sistasinzion/2012/12/17/who-wears-the-pants-in-mormon-culture">Mormon Women Talk About Wearing Pants To Church</a></b><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />These are some of the Sistas that sat at our table:<br /><br /><a href="http://askmormongirl.com/">JoAnna Brooks </a> ~Ask A Mormon Girl<br /><a href="http://ablackmormongirl.blogspot.com/">Karyn Dudley</a> ~A Journal Black Mormon Girl<br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/WearPantsToChurchDay">Kristina Monson</a> ~ All Enlisted<br />La Shawn Schultz~A Sista In This Gospel<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><!-- Blogger automated replacement: "https://images-blogger-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/gadgets/proxy?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net%2Fhphotos-frc1%2F576356_10152308265915231_624707034_n.jpg&container=blogger&gadget=a&rewriteMime=image%2F*" with "https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEhb6XpqRzaGXljyCgv5vzEvPSqk6aO4Z70p0nT0tB0ycaFN_UFGEMW5BQcqUtqXs_nCINf8EeLLU5cUQTMa9CfLanYEoAcAvSQPsocF4uoMphBFdTw9V8JfPU4HrOBE0rZAkO9hNc-g10SZ90Acqg5-fNwzAyli8JaXP6W4HmF-Y_4A7shMzcYtIpVrtWLFV4sepMk=" -->

We're not quite sure what those who are not members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints actually thought the Mormon Moment was.  To us the Mormon Moment was a catchy way of saying that <a href="http://mormon.org/" target="_blank">Mormon</a> topics were trending, and trend they did; on Google, Yahoo, the news, media, press, online, at work, at home and at play.<br /><br />Other than experiencing along with the rest of the world our <a href="http://lds.org/" target="_blank">LDS</a> faith being thrust into the lime-light, we don't really think it changed much of the day-to-day aspects of life for most Mormons. The Mormon Moment wasn't a job was it, cause if so, we are owed some back wages!<br /><br />Now that the presidential election is over and Governor Romney has said his gracious farewell, the press is letting everyone know that the Mormon Moment is over. So what will the Mormons do?<br /><br />If you're Governor Romney or the Mormons who voted for him, some of us will be sad at first, but not for long. Mormons are a people filled with faith and hope. Y'all we have survived an extermination order, a pioneer trek to the desert and like Brotha Romney said in his gratitude-filled concession speech, we know how to pray. P. Diddy said: "Can't nobody take my pride, can't nobody hold me down, oh no, I got to keep on movin'!" And that's how the Mormons roll!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCzbiNE1LZJOCtLZLbCYBzi_If1eVtS7by0mIsMYp1P9N5BVkgubpJLetiPgCQDa9gwkyrY2uMgcuZrRcxlsPqyoMV5j6xYH2dPgb-aqOuuL7ijSPms_avEYhUvK98dpMwhyphenhyphenqjLPRcscc/s1600/romney+sad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCzbiNE1LZJOCtLZLbCYBzi_If1eVtS7by0mIsMYp1P9N5BVkgubpJLetiPgCQDa9gwkyrY2uMgcuZrRcxlsPqyoMV5j6xYH2dPgb-aqOuuL7ijSPms_avEYhUvK98dpMwhyphenhyphenqjLPRcscc/s400/romney+sad.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />We will make Jell-o and some of us will put carrots in it.

We Sistas are going to try to be more like them and Jesus, but first,  since we "need" the new iPhone 5, we bout to head to Brigham Young University, "borrow" some thangs and repent later. ;-)<br /><br />On the real, we are SOOOO happy we were not on campus that day, it would have been so embarrassing when y'all had to bail us out of jail, just to find out it was all a social experiment.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Check out the video and tell us what you would have done?</b></div><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YcYEV5Vl-hU?rel=0" width="560"></iframe><br /><br />Holy is the Lamb,<br />Sista Beehive & Sista Laurel

Sista Beehive on Black Mormons on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

Cause where I come from you guard your phone number as much as you do your social security number.<br /><br />After I found out who I needed to call and <strike>cuss out</strike>  talk to about sharing my digits I said, "I'll think about it and let you know." That was three months ago and obviously I eventually said yes.<br /><br />Here's what I want y'all to know; we filmed for THREE, I repeat THREE hours. And I think that Jon Stewart might have something against Mormons cause craft services (that's what the call the people who feed you in showbiz) was no where to be found and we were HUNGRY. <a href="http://www.sistasinzion.com/2012/10/jimmy-kimmel-doesnt-believe-there-are.html" target="_blank">Jimmy Kimmel doesn't believe that black Mormons exist</a> and Jon Stewart is trying to starve to death the ones who do. That's probably why the black republican guy was so angry.<br /><br />And what they call argumentative and intolerant we call famine without a fast. When they locked a group of black people in a room for three hours without feeding them, what did they think would happen? They lucky we didn't start Hunger Games up in there. I'm sayin' not a drop of green jello was to be found. Well when we die I hope that Jon Stewart knows to get the funeral potatoes ready.<br /><br />At the end of the day the Sistas would consider going on The Daily Show again, but we are going to have to send him a rider with our list of demands cause Sistas gotta eat. And keep this on the DL, but Jon Stewart might moonlight as a Mormon Bishop cause none of us got paid to be on the show, y'all I think Jon Stewart tried to give me a <a href="http://lds.about.com/od/organizationsauxiliaries/p/church_callings.htm" target="_blank">calling</a>!<br /><br />Ps: All of us in the video actually know each other and are good friends, not that we're saying all black Mormons know each other...cause that would sound crazy...<br /><br /><b>Check out Sista Beehive on The Daily Show in the video below:</b><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="background-color: whitesmoke; color: #333333; font: 11px arial; height: 340px; width: 512px;"><tbody><tr style="background-color: #e5e5e5;" valign="middle"><td style="padding: 2px 1px 0px 5px;"><a href="http://www.thedailyshow.com/" style="color: #333333; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Daily Show with Jon Stewart</a></td><td style="font-weight: bold; padding: 2px 5px 0px 5px; text-align: right;">Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c</td></tr><tr style="height: 14px;" valign="middle"><td colspan="2" style="padding: 2px 1px 0px 5px;"><a href="http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-october-9-2012/the-black-mormon-vote" style="color: #333333; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Black Mormon Vote</a></td></tr><tr style="background-color: #353535; height: 14px;" valign="middle"><td colspan="2" style="overflow: hidden; padding: 2px 5px 0px 5px; text-align: right; width: 512px;"><a href="http://www.thedailyshow.com/" style="color: #96deff; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">www.thedailyshow.com</a></td></tr><tr valign="middle"><td colspan="2" style="padding: 0px;"><embed allowfullscreen="true" allownetworking="all" allowscriptaccess="always" bgcolor="#000000" flashvars="autoPlay=false" height="288" src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:cms:item:comedycentral.com:419963" style="display: block;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="512" wmode="window"></embed></td></tr><tr style="height: 18px;" valign="middle"><td colspan="2" style="padding: 0px;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="height: 100%px; margin: 0px; text-align: center; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr valign="middle"><td style="padding: 3px; width: 33%;"><a href="http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/" style="color: #333333; font: 10px arial; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Daily Show Full Episodes</a></td><td style="padding: 3px; width: 33%;"><a href="http://www.indecisionforever.com/" style="color: #333333; font: 10px arial; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Political Humor & Satire Blog</a></td><td style="padding: 3px; width: 33%;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow" style="color: #333333; font: 10px arial; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Daily Show on Facebook</a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>Praise God Almighty,<br />Sista Beehive

Justin grew up moving around the United States, has spent two years in Spain, and his blues-rock roots have picked up a variety of flavors along the way. Justin Cash’s natural joie de vivre brings you to a feel good place where music grooves and melody is king, with songs that acknowledge a range of emotions, yet are propelled by his active belief that there is good in the world.<br /><br />To learn more about  Justin Cash and his music visit <a href="http://gojustincash.com/">gojustincash.com</a>.

That's how famous this brotha is, he gets national TV appearances and can't even keep track of them.<br /><br />Y'all know we had to find the video. In an interview with Trey Parker and Matt Stone the creators of "The Book of Mormon" musical, Jimmy Kimmel shows Alex Boye's mug and asks, "Are there black Mormons? I find that hard to believe." We don't know why he thinks the dudes from South Park would know the answer to his question, but if you really want to know Mr. Kimmel, the Sistas and Brotha Boye would be happy to come on your show and set the record straight. We'll have our people call your people, we just need your number Jimmy boo!<br /><br /><b>Watch Mormons; Jeff Decker, Rose Datoc Dall & Alex Boye on <i>Jimmy Kimmel Live</i>!</b><br />  <img border="0" height="0" src="http://c.gigcount.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEzNDk*NjA2ODU4MzMmcHQ9MTM*OTQ2MDY5MDc1NyZwPTczMDM3MSZkPUFCQ19TRlBfTG9ja2VfRW1iZWRfVkQ1NTIz/MDQyNF9UcmV5UGFya2VyYW5kTWF*dFN*b25lb25KaW1teUtpbW1lbFBhcnQzJmc9MiZvPTdiYjgwNWJkMjg2MDQ5MzE4Yjk2MTI*/YmJhYmZlMTc1Jm9mPTA=.gif" style="height: 0px; visibility: hidden; width: 0px;" width="0" /><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,124,0" height="260" id="ABCESNWID" width="426"><param name="movie" value="http://a.abc.com/media/_global/swf/embed/2.6.14/SFP_Walt.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowNetworking" value="all" /><param name="flashvars" value="configUrl=http://a.abc.com/service/sfp/embedplayerconfig/id/&configId=406732&playlistId=PL5520977&clipId=VD55230424&showId=SH005455790000&gig_lt=1349460685833&gig_pt=1349460690757&gig_g=2" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed src="http://a.abc.com/media/_global/swf/embed/2.6.14/SFP_Walt.swf" quality="high" allowScriptAccess="always" allowNetworking="all" allowfullscreen="true" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="426" height="260" flashvars="configUrl=http://a.abc.com/service/sfp/embedplayerconfig/id/&configId=406732&playlistId=PL5520977&clipId=VD55230424&showId=SH005455790000&gig_lt=1349460685833&gig_pt=1349460690757&gig_g=2" name="ABCESNWID"></embed></object><br /><br />Glory to God,<br />Sista Beehive & Sista Laurel
