Welcome to the Muslim Indo-Caribbean Collective

To create a space to unapologetically unpack, share, learn, unlearn, reclaim, and decolonize — resisting the intergenerational trauma of colonial exploitation (Decolonize Mental Health) — so we can stand in solidarity and connect over the multiple intersectional truths, voices, and lived experiences of being simultaneously Muslim, Indo-Caribbean, and the descendant of indentured labourers displaced by colonization from Hindostan (present-day South Asia) to the Caribbean.

To have thoughtful representation and amplify Muslim Indo-Caribbean voices, truths, and lived experiences in spaces where they are marginalized, silenced, and invisibilized — including Indo-Caribbean, Indentured Diasporic, Caribbean, West Indian, Indian, South Asian, and Muslim spaces.

To address anti-Muslim racism affecting Muslim Indo-Caribbeans across these community spaces — a reality rarely acknowledged, much less addressed.

To have a space where Muslim Indo-Caribbeans can be unapologetically Muslim Indo-Caribbean, where we do not need to code-switch as we do in other spaces, and can express our authentic selves and live in our full truths.
