Nijla Mu’min presents a Deluge of films and creative works

The Radio Boys (C.Truth, Kev Lawrence) had a spectacular conversation with Nijla Mu’min (@Nijla1). The rising filmmaker brought us up to speed with: her production company Sweet Potato Pie Productions, the love of casting, the short film “Deluge” based on a mass drowning in Shreveport Louisiana and African Americans’ relationship to water, what growing up in Heyward California was like, the experience of going from UC Berkeley to Howard University in DC, why making features is not encouraged in film school, interest in teaching high school kids about filmmaking, her work as a photographer, the 8th grade teacher who predicted she would be a screenwriter, her contribution to the book anthology "Love InshAllah" about American Muslim women's romance experiences, the upcoming film fest screening of her film "Two Bodies"at Lincoln Center in NYC, work on a coming of age feature centered around a Muslim girl and more.
