Who is Mika Miller
At first glance, her enthusiastic smile and sincere eyes suggests an innocent naiveté. But anyone familiar with Mika Miller knows that her exterior belies an extraordinary passion and intense drive to fulfill her purpose in life. If you’ve ever met her, spoken with her or have seen her in action…you can’t deny it.
Mika has always defined herself as a mother first, a business woman second, then as an author, third. After the success of her debut novel, And God Created Woman, Mika Miller has refocused her career ambitions and has powered-up by establishing her own publishing firm, positioning herself to release her self-published and 3rd novel of her career. This highly anticipated novel promises to be her most controversial, thrilling and vulnerable literary offering to date.
Mika is living proof that if you want something bad enough, and if you believe in yourself, you can achieve your dreams. In 2005, she strongly felt that her destiny was to become a published author. Her novel. And God Created Woman, grabbed the attention of two publishing firms in New York City. At the time, Mika was living in Texas, with a newborn son, and a thriving career in finance. Although her life was ‘good’ by most standards, Mika wondered what type of legacy she was going to leave for her son. She felt that she had to be the person that God created her to be, to fulfill her destiny, and to lead by her own example…the example of being a woman who has lived a purpose-filled life.
This philosophy gave her the courage to do everything she could to make her career as an author work. Several days after receiving confirmation that her novel would be published (with no signing bonus), she resigned from her job, sold everything she owned, and, with nothing but the clothes on her back and a few thousand dollars, she hopped a plane with her newborn son, and flew to the east coast to pursue her ambition as a writer.
16 months later, And God Created Woman, was published, she was on her 1st book tour, and earned a spot on the acclaimed “Essence Best Sellers” list. Mika strongly believes that “You just can’t give up. You have to dream big and then move confidently in the direction of your dreams.”
Mika is all about her family and her business, but she is also passionate about empowering women worldwide through an organization called Phenomenal Woman; assisting in healing and rebuilding the lives of women, spiritually, emotionally and financially. She has collected herself into a woman who is much more intact. She hopes that by expanding herself into something more magnificent and by striving to live a more fulfilling life, –no matter how slight–that this is not selfishness, but her obligation and her entitlement.
Being a mother, a wife, an entrepreneur, and author is her faint potentiality for happiness. She pursues her destiny–experiencing every challenge–to enhance her life, to mend her soul, so that she may be, once again, recognizable to herself…and that is Mika Miller…for real.
