Hi! I’m Tamice! I’m the creative director of Black Modern Mystic and have 23 years of ministry experience. I have a Doctorate in Social Transformation, a Masters in Theology, and a Masters in Leadership. I have one spouse named Ellison, and two kids, one of whom met Alison while still in my spouse’s belly. When I first met Alison, we had deep and riveting conversations that included different interpretations of Jesus, yet similar hopes about what the world could be. We developed a very deep friendship very quickly because Alison reminds me of one of my favorite people - Jesus. I’m deeply inspired by her work in the world and the ways that she can hold space for people’s fears and failures and dreams.

Jesus has not lost importance in my own life but the positionality has changed. Jesus has gone from savior and lord to ancestral guide. Jesus is part of my great cloud of witnesses and pantheon and a very good friend who I call when I need him.

Hi! I’m Alison! I’m a trauma-informed spiritual director and community facilitator with 15 years of ministry experience. I created Grey Space in 2019 and have specialized in spiritual care for people with church hurt or who are deconstructing. I met Tamice in Lake Tahoe and was immediately taken in by their vitality, open-hearted warmth, thoughtful introspection, and fierce conviction that diseased imaginations could be healed and God could be good. I told Tamice that anything they want to do in the world, I wanted to be a part of it. Thankfully for me, they felt similarly and we’ve gotten to dream up something as beautiful and compelling as Holy Mischief!

I still consider Jesus God and love this vision of a God that so desperately wants connection that they would do anything to make themselves known and accessible to people, like becoming human. Jesus has been an incredible source of compassion and tenderness in my inner life and being in his presence has shaped me into a more compassionate and loving person.
