Working as the head of a magazine for a major corporation at which the chair, CEO, and editors-in-chief are all accomplished women of color, Miller offers a unique perspective on female empowerment.
JET magazine, founded in 1951, gained a visionary when its new editor-in-chief was named in 2011. Miller shares her day-to-day process of leading a major print publication in the digital age, which includes enhancing and reinventing the JET brand and keeping her finger on the pulse of change.
The JET magazine editor-in-chief is also the co-author of The Vow: A Novel; The Angry Black Woman’s Guide to Life; and the three-title Hotlanta young adult series. Miller explores how to land an agent, score a book deal and option your literature for film adaptation.
Following a diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis as a college student, Miller faced an uncertain future as her health waned. After 18 months on a wait list, she received a successful liver transplant. Miller has been an advocate for organ donation for the past 15 years. An engaging speaker, she discusses her life-altering journey as a transplant survivor.
Miller shares her experience as the youngest editor-in-chief in the history of JET magazine, the country’s oldest African-American newsweekly, where she is at the forefront of stories that impact and interest the Black diaspora—from politics to entertainment. As a first-generation American of Panamanian heritage and proud alumna of Florida A&M University, the journalist also speaks to the Black immigrant experience and HBCU student life. In addition, Miller adds insight into the Black family and youth development as a board member of the Jack and Jill of America Foundation.
