Amina Phelps, an African American woman from Atlanta, Georgia, was raising her autistic 9-year-old son A.J. when she began to suspect that she herself may also be autistic. Sure enough, doctors diagnosed her with autism, even though she’s already in her 40’s. The shocking news and late diagnosis inspired her to write a book called Hidden in Plain Sight: A Journey of Autism, Motherhood, and Self-Discovery about how Black women with autism are often rendered invisible in conversations about neurodiversity, sidelined by systemic bias in research, resources, and public perception.
In her book, Amina courageously confronts this erasure while redefining what it means to thrive as a neurodivergent Black woman. Drawing from her lived experiences, she shines a light on the double-edged sword of being a Black woman with undiagnosed autism — a reality many women face due to the persistent white, male-centric lens of autism diagnosis and research. This deeply personal memoir is not just a call for representation but also an indictment of a system that routinely fails Black women and girls by misdiagnosing or overlooking their struggles altogether.

This inspired her to launch her company, Mygani, which creates handbags that are more than just accessories; they are a blend of art and representation for women of color.

Through its rich narrative, the musical spotlights the vitality and artistry of Black history, showcasing the profound contributions of the Bronzeville community.
“This project was born from the urgent need to change the narrative surrounding urban Black youth,” said Producer and Director Margaret Mahdi. “Our artistic responsibility is to honor the legacy of those who came before us, especially in light of events like George Floyd’s tragic death and current migration challenges. ‘Bronzeville The Musical’ serves as a vital platform for ongoing discussions about identity and heritage.”
