Interview with author "MIZZ" of Bishop, G Banks and more

In the nineteen eighties as a misguided teen, Miz can only be described as a real bad boy with a good heart. Meaning, even though he was doing things he had no business doing, he would still go above and beyond for anyone he considered worthy of his loyalty. However, living the “street life” landed him in prison for 17 and a half years. He went to prison in 1989 and came home 2007. Tired of still acting up in prison, he decided to change his ways, and it was there that he took the opportunity to better himself and enhance his character. The change did not happen quickly but like all good things, it was a process and took time. While incarcerated, Miz received his diploma, learned trades, work skills, read everything from Donald Goines to the Bible, and had even studied African history. The change had to happen. He began to help children through various organizations such as: Hale House, Children’s Defense Fund, City Kids Foundation, World Vision, etc. This was nothing he boasted about but what he enjoyed doing. In 2003 after reading The Coldest Winter Ever by Sister Souljah, and being egged on by fellow prisoners because he had the gift of telling stories through rap lyrics, he decided to try his hand at writing a book of his own. Thus, BISHOP was born. He believed he could not only write it but also publish it in spite of the naysayers. He truly proved the saying, “If you believe it, you can achieve it”. Upon his release from prison, Miz travelled to Atlanta to not only promote his book, but also to speak to the children in two different youth detention centers as well as the Boys & Girls Club. He pushed out his second book, the sequel to Bishop; “The Bulldog Crew” and “Hater’s Animosity. His fourth book “G-Banks” is now available. Miz is available for book signings, speaking engagements, etc. He showed that anyone can change!
