Neda Ryan - Executive Producer

A native Michigander, Neda grew up in Ann Arbor where she earned her Bachelors from the University of Michigan in English Language and Literature; and her Juris Doctor from Michigan State University. “Growing up as a first-generation immigrant, I was made to feel different or told that I am ‘less-than’ far too often. As a teen, classmates would make fun of my culture and religion. As a young woman, my body was subjected to demeaning comments or unwanted touching on numerous occasions. As a lawyer at a large national law firm, many assumed I was support staff and not an attorney. And as a mother, many questioned my decision to go back to work to pursue my aggressive career goals. I am honored and humbled to be working on a project that highlights and celebrates our differences.”
