The In Between (2026)
The In Between podcast explores what it means to live in climate-based disaster cycles. This podcast will go between two places — New Orleans and Jamaica — two time periods — 2005 and 2025 — and two hurricanes — Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Melissa. Hosted by Iman Shervington, Senior Director of Media & Communications at the Institute of Women & Ethnic Studies, The In Between, goes between conversations with community, non-profit, and government leaders in New Orleans recorded in 2025, 20 years after Hurricane Katrina, and conversations with first responders and healthcare workers in Jamaica recorded in June 2026, 8 months after Hurricane Melissa. In each episode, their experiences, reflections, warnings, and survival stories are put in dialogue with one another to think through what is needed to adapt to our current reality as individuals, as communities, and as a global society.
Should I Get A Doula? (2024)
In Should I Get A Doula?, our Sr. Director of Media & Communications, Iman Shervington, goes on a journey to decide whether or not she should get a doula by speaking with doulas, birthing people, and an OB-GYN to answer every question she could think of relating to doulas and doula care. Over the course of five episodes Iman hears firsthand about things such as the difference between doulas and midwives; how doulas support birthing families as a whole; the health disparities Black birthing people face and how doulas can help address some of them; what's needed to have a healthy pregnancy; how someone becomes a doula and what training they receive; how much doulas cost and how to find the right fit; and much more!
Healing is the revolution (2020)
The Healing is the Revolution Podcast is a soulful, intimate, and honest one-on-one conversation with noted psychiatrist and trauma expert Dr. Denese Shervington and a guest. Individuals share intimate - and at times tragic - stories of creating successful lives beyond their traumatic beginnings and for some, untreated experiences. Behind the pained words, learned wisdom, and laughter, are courageous examples shared with Dr. Shervington that display the effectiveness of breaking generational cycles of dysfunction. The series features a range of guests: each episode a personal story revealing joys, pains, and a path to healing. The living improves but the work is never done. Dr. Shervington pulls from her training and study in both eastern and western healing modalities to guide these explorations of past, present, and future. In her own words, she describes the Healing is the Revolution Podcast as a place where “everyday people like us bare our souls as we try to learn from each other the naked truth of living.”
