Miz Floes

The proud recipient of the 2022 Artist at the Center, 2023 4Culture Projects, and 2022 Uptown Storefronts grants, Miz Floes is an ever-evolving artistic implant into Seattle. Not a stranger to poverty or the byproducts that can impact families; as a youth, Miz witnessed violence and crime daily, even had the misfortune to experience poverty first hand. The literary arts saved her! Through poetry Miz Floes located an escape from the madness that surrounded her. Her soul connection to literature inspired the evolution of this BIPOC writer, performance poet, theater producer, director, actress, storyteller, and Jazz vocalist. Her literary journey led to her relocation from the “Windy City” of Chicago to the Seattle area in 1991. Miz is a current member of the African American Writers Alliance, and currently performs as a member of the Griot Party Experience. In addition she has penned 15 scripts and published 7 manuscripts.
