Ray Iman: A Search for The Ambiguous Alien


Listen Later

There is really no way to walk around lower Manhattan with Ray Iman without at least three people stopping to say hello. And Ray treats everyone as equal: they greet everyone in a loving way, no matter if they saw the person four years ago or four hours ago. Despite being the child of quite possibly the largest personality in sports history, Ray is a calm force, exuding strength in their own way, through sensitivity, love, self-expression and authenticity, in all that they do; it is no wonder that the communities of friends and artists Ray has assembled will follow them anywhere. I have seen Ray through ups and downs, but I continue to watch in awe as they turn negative to positive and never fail to stay true to themselves. Their maturity and intelligence is just the tip of the iceberg: Ray has one of the most romantic outlooks on life and love of anyone I have ever met in their early 20s, despite experiencing all that they have that may have turned them cynical. It is quite beautiful to roam the scary world as a young artist and then return home to Ray, who reminds us all of why we are really here and what is truly important. Whether it is during a trip to witchcraft store Enchantments to buy a candle or on a film set, Ray strives to bring their full self to every person and every experience and it is infectious. So listen in to find out why Ray still believes love and artistic expression can solve all of our most difficult problems.
