On this episode, we talk with special guest, Rogiers, former BN-DC affiliate organizer, regarding why five affiliate organizers decided to walk away from Black Nonbelievers, Inc. (BN) and its founder and president, Mandisa Thomas, amid allegations of misconduct, abuse of power, manipulation, and coercion.

I enjoyed listening to this eposode as it gave me a real insight on the issue. When I started promoting our BAHACON conference, I kept getting responses that no member would attend if Mandisa was on the program. Shortly after, we started getting comments on our Facebook page saying the same thing. Even though I wasn’t privy to all the facts, we made the decision to remove Mandisa from the conference. I personally talked to Mandisa & she was very vague on the issue and we decided to remove her from our conference this year and revisit having her in 2024. After listening to your podcast, I’m convinced we made the correct decision. The best of luck to rebuilding your groups after leaving BN
