Deep Dives with ISPU

Stories, Stereotypes, and Structures That Shape Black Christian-Muslim Interfaith Relationships

Institute for Social Policy and Understanding Season 3

Communities can grow up together and still miss key pieces of each other’s stories. For Black Christians and Muslims, familiarity doesn’t always translate into understanding. In this episode of Deep Dives, Muslim Wellness Foundation Founder and President Dr. Kameelah Mu’Min Oseguera joins Youth Pastor Candace Simpson of Quinn Chapel AME and ISPU’s Senior Outreach and Partnerships Manager Petra Alsoofy to explore the stories, assumptions, and lived experiences shaping interfaith relationships. 

You’ll hear how proximity can still leave room for misunderstanding, how history and structural forces influence the way communities relate, and how combining data with storytelling can create space for honest, courageous conversations.
