Miesha joined Poets & Writers in November 2023. She holds a BA in Anthropology from American University, where her senior thesis, titled We Are Not Our Mistakes, delved into the redemptive power of poetry to build community and illuminate pathways of care beyond the confines of incarceration and into spaces of healing and compassion.
As an accomplished arts administrative professional, Miesha has cultivated partnerships with diverse international and U.S.-based artistic organizations. Prior to joining Poets & Writers, she co-facilitated workshops dedicated to amplifying the voices of incarcerated poets at Free Minds Book Club & Writing Workshop. Additionally, Miesha has provided operational support to artists at the Kuona Artists Collective in Nairobi, Kenya. Her favorite book is "Open Water" by Caleb Azumah Nelson.
