Life & Work with Mik Flyy of Atlanta

Today we’d like to introduce you to Mik Flyy.

Mik , we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My journey in media really began with The ACE Network. Yesha, the owner of the platform, saw something in me that I didn’t even fully see in myself at the time. She gave me the opportunity to create a show where I interviewed Black-owned businesses in and around Atlanta, which aired on the Roku app. That moment was the spark it gave me my voice, my lane, and a platform to shine light on entrepreneurs who deserved to be seen.

From there, Yesha connected me with Lala, the owner of The Progress Report, and that’s when history really started to be made. With The Progress Report, I’ve had the privilege of sitting down with incredible guests, from hip-hop legends to cultural voices shaping today’s conversations. One of my most memorable interviews was with NBA champion Matt Barnes a moment that reminded me how far I’ve come.

Life has truly been beautiful because of the doors that opened when other Black women believed in me, poured into me, and gave me opportunities. That support has allowed me to thrive, grow, and keep building my own path in media. My journey is a testament to community, culture, and the power of women uplifting each other.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
My journey has been far from smooth, but every obstacle shaped me into who I am today. From the start, I dealt with people trying to humble me simply because they don’t feel I belong in their space. If people don’t know your name, they act like you don’t matter.

Not having a Professional Camera On red carpets, photographers would dismiss me, look down on me, and treat me like I didn’t belong. For a while, I let them make me feel small. But I never stopped showing up, I never stopped grinding, and I never let their doubt stop my shine. Now I walk those same carpets with confidence and respect, proving that I was always meant to be here.

And the truth is, I still can’t afford a camera but I’m making the best of my situation. I want to be an example for other Black girls starting out in media: use what you have, because better will come. My story is proof that your hustle, your vision, and your presence matter more than the equipment you start with.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I’m Mikflyy The Media Homegirl. I’m a media personality, host, and journalist known for my signature red hair, my energy, and my ability to make interviews feel like real conversations while still asking the questions that matter. I’ve interviewed cultural leaders like Benjamin Crump, David Banner, and Eboni K. Williams. I’ve also covered exclusive events for the Mayor of Atlanta including the launch of a new housing community in the historic Old Fourth Ward and I’ve been invited into private dinners and powerful rooms that most people can only imagine. Whether it’s red carpets, festivals, or exclusive industry spaces, I bring authenticity, professionalism, and relatability every time.

What I’m most proud of is that I never give up, even when the journey gets rough I dealt with being overlooked, dismissed, But I kept showing up, I kept grinding, and eventually I proved that I was meant to be here. To this day, I still may not have all the resources, but I make the best of my situation because I want to be an example for other Black girls: use what you have now, because better will come.

What makes me different is that I don’t just cover the culture I live it, I represent it, and I move through it authentically. I’m thriving today because other Black women believed in me and gave me opportunities when I was just starting out, and I carry that forward by creating safe spaces where people feel seen and respected. At the end of the day, I’m known for being relatable, professional, and unforgettable the homegirl you can always count on to bring culture, community, and conversation together in one space.
