Chantal Monique Duson

Chantal Monique Duson is the President at the Center for Biblical Unity, whose mission is to promote Gospel-centered unity in the conviction that we are all created in the image of God, and thus constitute one human race and one people, regardless of ethnicity or skin color, redeemed by one savior, Jesus Christ. Monique holds a BA in Sociology from Biola University and is working on an MA in Public Theology at Birmingham Theological Seminary. She has a background in social service and children’s ministry. She has worked with a diverse array of under-served communities. She worked as a missionary to South Africa for over four years, serving children and teachers impacted by drugs, violence, and trauma. Earlier in her life, she spent two decades advocating for Critical Race Theory (CRT), but through a series of events, began to see clearly the contradictions of CRT with the Christian worldview. Monique is now convinced that CRT is not the best way to achieve racial unity and actively speaks out against the use of CRT within the church. She discussed her change of heart on an episode of the Free Black Thought Podcast titled “From Critical Race Theory to Biblical Unity.” The article reprinted here was initially published as “Karmelo Anthony murder verdict: Why we must reject racial proxies” in The Christian Post.
