ABOUT AMIAH 

Amiah McGinty is a multi-hyphenate Black woman storyteller committed to creating cathartic and healing theatre and film experiences for Black people. Through her work, she seeks to tell stories that authentically reflect the multitextured lives of Black people in a way that makes us feel seen, heard, and celebrated; amplifying our stories through Black cultural aesthetics. 

Amiah's passion for storytelling inspired her to leave her home in Augusta, Georgia, and pursue a B.F.A in Theatre Arts at the illustrious Howard University. As a senior at HU, she continues to explore her artistic identity as a director, actress, poet, and arts administrator. Through her artistry, she prioritizes scholarship, mentorship, and mental health advocacy. 

 On July 28th, 2017, Amiah claimed the stage name Perception. As a budding poet active in the arts community in her hometown, she was inspired to proclaim a stage name that embodied her desire to transport her audiences on a journey through her headspace to allow others to experience the world through her brown eyes. 

Bio

I feel that I’m living my purpose. But the thing about purpose is that it unfolds to you more and more everyday, You could be living in what was revealed to you at a particular time, and then you might get stagnated because there’s more that you’re supposed to do. It doesn’t just stop as you do one thing. I think it’s [about] being open to what you’re supposed to do at this moment and not getting stuck in the past. Purpose is not related to career or career. It’s related to what God put inside you that you’re supposed to give to the world.
