Welcome to Grounded with Dr. Iman, a space where the intellectual meets the spiritual. I’m a professor, scholar of religion, and someone trying to find her footing. Each week, I bring conversations from religious studies, Black feminist thought, spirituality, and culture into everyday life, introducing you to the thinkers, questions, and traditions that have transformed how I see the world. Some episodes are personal reflections on where I’m finding grounding. Others draw from my research on religion, Black women’s spiritual lives, and alternative modes of knowing. And sometimes I’m joined by scholars, creators, friends, and listeners as we think together about intuition, critique, imagination, and what it means to live differently. So wherever this takes us, I’m really glad you’re here. Let’s get grounded.
