Breaking Barriers: Dr. Mya Speller Cullins Becomes the First African-American Woman to Self-Fund 15 Films in a Single Year
Atlanta, GA - January 23, 2025 - Dr. Mya Speller Cullins, a visionary filmmaker, mental health advocate, and grieving mother, has made history as the first African-American woman to independently produce and self-fund 15 films within a year. Dr. Cullins' groundbreaking achievement is a testament to resilience, purpose, and innovation, emerging from a deeply personal tragedy to shine a light on systemic issues and inspire action.
In 2022, Dr. Cullins faced unimaginable heartbreak when her beloved son, Nygil M.

From this devastating loss, Dr. Cullins channeled her grief into a mission-driven pursuit of justice, awareness, and healing through the art of storytelling.

Unprecedented Achievement:
In 2024, Dr. Cullins independently produced 15 thought-provoking films, shattering barriers in the film industry. Her work highlights African-American excellence while tackling critical societal issues.
Among her upcoming releases on Tubi are:
- "Mirrored Lives": An unflinching exploration of identity, survival, and redemption.
- "Poly Love in Peach City 2": A bold continuation of unconventional relationships, struggle, andtriumph.
A Mission Rooted in Advocacy:
Beyond her success as a filmmaker, Dr. Cullins is a respected mental health leader with over two decades of experience. She has founded initiatives to provide accessible mental health services, addiction recovery, and crisis training for first responders. Her work reflects her belief that no one should suffer in silence, and every story deserves to be told.
"Every project I create is for my son and others like him whose stories need to be heard," Dr. Cullins shares. Her dedication to storytelling and advocacy is inspiring a new generation of creators and reformers to join the movement.
Join the Movement:
Dr. Cullins is inviting new talent and collaborators to be part of her mission to inspire change through film. With her relentless determination, she continues to push boundaries, proving that no obstacle is too great when fueled by purpose.
