Having been in the book industry for only two years [as of 2009]
Miasha has five novels under her belt plus a short story
in an anthology. She’s caught the attention of major media
outlets such as BET, The Wendy Williams Experience, CBS, and CN8
and has been featured in an array of national magazines from
Essence to Vibe Vixen. Known for having extravagant release
parties and being one of the game’s top hustlers, this best
selling author established quite a name for herself.
Recently, Simon and Schuster designated a
“Miasha” month companywide meaning no other female urban
literature author will be able to put out a book during that
particular month. This is astonishing, especially for someone
who grew up with both parents addicted to drugs and in an
environment that could have easily led her astray.
The founder of the Ask Miasha Foundation, this
twenty-six year old wife and mother of one has her mind set on
giving back to the less fortunate. She came a long way and
wishes the same for people coming up behind her. Her motto,
“Don’t dream your life, Live your dreams” inspires people from
all walks of life and according to her it is her ability to
motivate and uplift people that is her biggest and most
rewarding accomplishment to date.

M. Stringer, Essence bestselling author of Let That Be the
Reason
After her big brother Curtis is gunned down in the streets of
Brooklyn, Angel's family crumbles. Grief stricken, her mother
turns to heroin to ease her pain. She doesn't notice that her
son has no food or that her daughters' clothes are torn and
dirty. Worst of all, she doesn't see what her boyfriend does to
Angel behind closed doors.
Desperate to support her younger brother and sister, Angel hits
the streets looking for anything or anyone to help. But she's
fifteen years old, so options for legal work are few. As a last
resort, she turns to her brother's best friend, Antoine, who
arranges for a job for her at a strip club. It's only supposed
to be for a while, until she can get her working papers.
Angel is convinced she won't fall victim to the streets like her
mother. But the fast life has its temptations and a magical
ability to make you forget.
