Amber Cullen

Amber Cullen with her back against a chain link fence, looking down to the side and smiling with the sun shining on her face.

Amber Cullen is a European-American storyteller who is learning to lead a life of active repentance from White supremacy towards the work of collective healing and flourishing. She is currently the Director of Communications and Advocacy at South Street Ministries (a member of the Christian Community Development Association) in Akron, Ohio. Originally from Akron, Amber’s story has taken her from her hometown, to the corn fields, to row homes, to the shores, and back to Akron once again, with a deep conviction that we can care for one another better. Amber is interested in the intersection of cultural organizing, arts, conflict transformation, and healing.

I haven't sought to speak in the storm, because I am not rain, nor wind, nor shaking earth or crashing waves. I find my giftings in other places, much like the gentle breeze in 1 Kings that causes Elijah to emerge from the cave because he knows it is God.

And so it is with this image that my spirit resonates, thinking of myself as a breeze that caresses each and every person and calls them to know their Belovedness--and to cast off all that holds back from this Knowing. This is the tender compassion the Lord has given to me--one that seeks to protect the space for the journey of healing in each and every one of us, for we have all experienced trauma and fragmentation in our spirits.
