The Creator and Her Story

Sulma Arzu-Brown is a proud Garifuna Woman, Afro-Latina, born in Honduras, raised and still living in the South Bronx.

The Amigo family is a contemporary story of an identifiably Black Afro-Latino family based on the lived experience of the creator. It aims to spotlight the tenacity and triumph of a community often left unseen. It will speak to the human spirit and through it,  communities globally will find points of grace to thrive together.

I am excited to share that THE AMIGO FAMILY performed a live-in-person theatre-style performance during the 2024 Essence Film Festival on July 5-6 in New Orleans.  It was a great opportunity to put THE AMIGO FAMILY in front of producers in the hope they would pick up the series. The response was very favorable, so be on the lookout for a future TV series.
