Karimah Rahman (she/her) is the founder/curator of The Muslim Indo-Caribbean Collective (MICC) and The Muslim Indentureship Studies Center (MISC).

Muslim Indo-Caribbean and Muslim Indentured Labourer Descendant voices are marginalized, silenced, and invisibilized in Indo-Caribbean, Indentured Diasporic, Indian, South Asian, Caribbean, and West Indian spaces. She founded MICC and MISC in 2020 to create a space where the marginalized intersectional voices, truths, lived experiences and positionalities of Muslim Indo-Caribbeans and Muslim Indentured Labourer Descendants can be shared and unpacked.

She is currently pursuing her PhD in Policy Studies at Ryerson University in the Immigration, Settlement and Diaspora Policy stream. Karimah's research focuses on the intersectional marginalization, lack of representation, and anti-Muslim racism towards Muslim Indo-Caribbeans and the problematic "purity/authenticity" politics of Indo-Caribbean, Indentured Diasporic, Indian, and South Asian spaces.

She coined The South Asian/Indian Hierarchy of "Authenticity/Purity" Theory to unpack this marginalization using intersectionality, and is a published author, spoken word artist, and the Managing Editor of the Identity Politics and Belonging cluster of The Migration Initiative.
