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.

—Vickie 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.
