Iris Hoskins

Hi, my name is Iris Hoskins, aka MISSI, aka the Voice, behind words written to inform, inspire and motivate people in a positive way.

I am not naive to what sells. However, I understand the power of media and how it influences our culture. With that being said, when I write, create or report, I try to go by the rule to inform and inspire.

I am a Hunter College graduated with Bachelors in Media Studies. I have worked in several community news papers. For 5 years I published GXL Magazine, an online magazine about God, People and Business.

Working a 9-5 job, I almost was content with making money to just pay my bills. But my desire to write merged again and I could not help but to do something about it.

I slowly began my writing journey again with a personal blog ‘AKA MISSI - Miss Independent Defined;’ written to voice my opinions, promote inspiring stories, share my Aha moments and inspire others to live a independent life.
