“Scientology Is Not A White Religion”: Black Celebrities Who’ve Studied It Or Are Proud Members
Persia White
The name of the quirkiest member of the Girlfriends cast was found on a list of Scientologists who’ve completed “Purification Rundown 84” classes. Purification Rundown, according to the Scientology website, is a detoxification program to help rid an individual of the “harmful effects of drugs, toxins and other chemicals that lodge in the body and create a biochemical barrier to spiritual well-being.”
While White has never spoken openly about Scientology, she did list founder L. Ron Hubbard as one of her personal heroes on her Myspace page.
