My name is Claudia, and I empower people to lean into the uncomfortable by teaching them how to cultivate spaces free from hypersensitivity, so they can go beyond what is convenient and experience transformational change. 

As a child exposed to racism and verbal abuse, I am strangely comfortable with uncomfortable conversations. I realized this truth by excavating my own ideas, thoughts, and beliefs and uncovering my own biases. We all have biases nestled in our hearts and minds that affect our behaviors and decisions. When we excavate them, we can stop leaning into what’s convenient and start implementing policies and practices that are equitable for everyone.

Whether in a social post, workshop, article, lecture, or sermon, I leverage a history-driven framework, born out of my insatiable appetite for reading, to fulfill my God-given calling to orchestrate enlightening, freedom-generating moments. 

If you’re ready to get uncomfortable, follow me on all social media platforms @iamclaudiaallen.

“I just heard Claudia M. Allen preach for the first time at WAU weekly convocation. This is it: I have never heard any SDA preach like this, period. Prophetic – Charismatic – Biblical – Lyrical – PROFOUND. This is a good thing SDA preachers! This is the current generation. They have to exceed us.”

“This young woman, Claudia Allen, spoke at this past weekend's, Adventists for Social Justice conference. The wisdom of Rosa Parks, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Diane Nash all rolled into one. With young People like her and others to push the church to BE the church, this country and world can be changed for the better.”
