Some think it’s related to amala(Yoruba food) but NO! It’s the most awesome igbo name which means Grace of God, though in some Igbo dialect it’s pronounced AMARACHUKWU which means the same but different dialect. When an igbo person tells you the name is AMALA don’t be a bastard and refer it to the Yoruba food!
church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
