What would you do if God had you to share your innermost thoughts with the world? In this interview, Miatta Harris shares her testimony on just how God had her do this through her poetry.
Miatta Harris is a Poet, Author, and Educator. She often fosters creativity with her students through the arts, whether it is through dance, song, or poetry. Teaching is her natural gift; she later discovered that it is also her spiritual gift. Writing, praying, and the arts have been a healing process for her during this journey of seeking fulfillment and purpose. The challenges she encountered in her adulthood have strengthened her desires as a writer. Initially, she began writing because she had many things consuming her that she needed to get it out on paper. Then it turned into a therapeutic tool and outlet for her. Now she views her writing as a tool to encourage and empower other people. She writes her poems from a standpoint of strength, resilience, peace, perseverance, and self-love. She is the author of a children’s book entitled, “Dede, the Baby Circus Elephant” and a faith-based self-help book entitled, “Walk Confidently into your New Season: A guide to build your spiritual and mental muscles”.
She often performs her poems at various open mic venues throughout the Baltimore and Washington, DC Metropolitan areas.
Miatta holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Teaching.
