Amina's work is inspired by the belief that stories told through words, visual elements, and conversations with all types of people and in the absence of pre-conceived judgment, have the power to break down barriers and stereotypes leading to new paths of connection and positive interaction.
As a true visualizer, she has spent more than a decade interviewing notable thought leaders, and finding under representative communities and people to help tell their stories. Her passion for storytelling comes to life most in film that showcase positive, impactful stories about minority American groups often misunderstood in the mainstream press. Her film Tariq's Cube, won the audience award at GlobeDocs 2018 and was broadcast on PBS World Channel in the fall of 2019. She holds an MA from Columbia University in Human Rights, an MA in Near Eastern Civilizations from Harvard University and a PhD in American religious and minority history from Boston University. She is working on three different character driven documentaries.
