The Pink Robe Chronicles began in a moment of heartbreak. In August 2016, Rev. Dr. Melva L. Sampson wrapped herself in a tattered pink robe, pressed "Go live" on Facebook, and preached from her living room—grieving the police killing of Korryn Gaines and the silencing of her own voice in the pulpit. That livestream became a sanctuary. Week after week, she showed up in her robe, offering meditations on justice, healing, and spiritual insurgency. What started as a digital hush harbor grew into a movement.

Now, in this powerful new collection of womanist wisdom, Dr. Sampson weaves together sermons, essays, letters, and reflections that center the lived experiences of Black women navigating identity, trauma, joy, and liberation. With fierce honesty and poetic depth, she chronicles her journey from silence to sovereignty, bringing ancestral wisdom, theological insight, and radical love into a sacred space for the weary and the rising.

Each chapter closes with prompts, meditations, and affirmations that invite us into reflection, healing, and embodied truth—telling. The Pink Robe Chronicles offers a space to rest, rage, and reimagine. It is a love letter to Black women's brilliance, a call to collective healing, and a reminder that our stories are sacred—and our voices, unchained.
