People, Places & Things goes deep in the Secret Society

Download this episode (62 min)  
This week (4/5): Charing and Len welcome Miasha, Essence best selling author of five novels including Sistah for Sale, Diary of a Mistress and Mommy's Angels. This girl is no joke! 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. And as the founder of the Ask Miasha Foundation, this twenty-six year old wife and mother hopes to use her status as the Queen of Urban Lit and extravagance to give back to the less fortunate.

Listen as Miasha spills secrets about the book biz, the growing popularity of Urban Lit and the stage adaptation of her controversial, best-selling novel Secret Society.
