Amina Peters - Associate Producer

Amina grew up in Texas, and has lived in Ann Arbor for the last decade. She’s a single mom with four kids. “As a biracial child, I asked my teacher which box to check for ‘race’ on a state test? The teacher looked confused and couldn’t respond. I feel like I’ve always had to explain or justify one part or another of my existence! As I get older, I’m understanding that it also means I can identify with some part of so many other people’s lives, and have begun to value that feeling of connection. I’m really excited about this film because seeing people share their stories and struggles so honestly makes me more comfortable acknowledging my own. I feel like we need to create places for people to find connections to others, and am excited to be a part of a project that is working towards that goal.”
