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