Boss Lady,
Marsha,
Sis . . .
Marsha Mills is a Chattanooga native. She is the president and executive director of Rhyme n Chatt Interactive Poetry Organization and has shared her poetry and hosted open mic poetry sessions and shows since 2004.
She is poetically known as “The Poetic Diva” because of her poetic style of mixing poetic verse with a lyrical hook. Her poetry is inspired by gains and losses in love and life and learning to love oneself.
She is a mother, grandmother, poet, singer, actress, and most of all a lover of God and an encourger to others. Her greatest joy is seeing others come into knowing and owning their own voice, power, gift and purpose.
