Mitzy Sky is an award-winning poet who writes to transmute the pain to love. She’s consciously unlearning messages that hindered her from living wholeheartedly. Her focus is on letting go of internalized oppression to move from shame to presence, beyond labels. (Read full bio here)

Just Doing the Little Things - A video project that started about weight loss turned into a soul's journey, working to live, getting to know myself, working on mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health! Sharing with others what I learn late, so they could learn early. It’s all grist for the mill!

I am excited to be sharing Just Doing the Little Things, Episode 1: Looking for the American Dream with you! It has taken some time, due to working to live and reflecting on the, why?
Mitzy Sky's debut collection of poetry takes the reader on a journey through her life—from her childhood growing up on the island of Jamaica, her tumultuous move to the United States, and her struggles and self-reflection as an adult and parent. Tackling universal experiences such as faith and body image, mental health and motherhood, racism and love, her collection of deeply revealing and emotional rhymed and freestyle verse will touch a place in every reader's heart.
Available on Amazon!

There is a place so deep and wide that only those who have touched into the deepest part of their soul can reach. Those who have faced the rawest parts of themselves and not turned away bring the rest of the world a precious gift. Reminding us that the true essence of who we are cannot be tarnished (continue reading)

In this interview with Milford Edwards Sr. (Ras Imel), I share some of my journey of why I wrote All Mind: The Influencers, a short screenplay that received semi-finalist status at the 2022 Bridgeport Film Festival! I share about Why Beyond the Story?
Beyond the Story: Letting Go of Internalized Oppression - You gotta bet on yourself. #AwarenessIsEverything (This2ShallPass) Honoring those who came before me and paved a way for all to be seen and heard! (EveryoneBelongs)
Getting to know myself, not words or stories that people provide to me, but learning and relearning for myself. These life lessons validates my spirit from what I experience. It is a continuous journey. I am not unique; we are all able to get to know ourselves well. There are myriads of ways to get that done. I am sharing my story because many other people shared their stories with me, and we keep on moving forward doing this life thing together. Still, we are more than what happened to us!
Learning it's about the Presence not about the Pretty. Learning from many teachers and getting to understand stillness and being, it could be driving in the car or laying on the grass, just staying aware of what is happening inside and around me. The best thing is getting to "know thyself."
In This Moment is sharing my story in spoken word. It is about moving forward, learning about myself, family history and life sometimes very difficult circumstances. Consciously unlearning the things that I unconsciously learned that defeated me from having my best human experience what that means for me. Holding on to hope and possibilities.
