ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I summarize my theory and findings, emphasize ethical ways of readings, and galvanize readers to the activism of the #SayHerName movement. I reiterate how my intersectional polyvocal framework opens the text in different and meaningful ways that enable readers and interpreters to acknowledge and address social and cultural complexities, namely sex trafficking, that arise from living in societies marked by kyriarchy, colonialism, and patriarchy. My interpretation allows readers and interpreters to become attentive to the silent and silenced Africana voices and identities embedded within the biblical text and to critique the intersecting forms of violence that have been ignored or even celebrated by individuals and groups, and to consider the role that religions and sacred stories play in creating and maintaining hierarchies of power, alongside their impact on the psyches and identities of readers.
