Mi Lyfe Mi Storii (MLMS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals through the power of storytelling, self-expression, and personal growth. Founded on the belief that every voice matters and every story has value, MLMS creates opportunities for people to share their experiences, build confidence, and discover strength through their own narratives.
Our organization was born from a deeply personal journey. As a child, our founder found comfort and healing through journaling—using writing as a safe outlet for emotions that were difficult to express aloud. What began as a personal tool for reflection and resilience eventually became a vision from God: to create a space where others could find their voice, process their experiences, and realize the power of their own stories.
Today, Mi Lyfe Mi Storii serves as a platform for healing, empowerment, and transformation. Through creative writing, storytelling programs, community engagement, and youth development initiatives, we help participants recognize that their experiences matter and their voices deserve to be heard.
Our signature youth program, The Writing Circle, provides students in grades 4-8 with a supportive environment where they can write, speak, create, and grow. Through guided writing activities, discussions, spoken word, and confidence-building exercises, participants learn valuable communication skills while developing self-esteem, resilience, and leadership abilities.
At Mi Lyfe Mi Storii, we believe that stories have the power to inspire change, build connections, and transform lives. We are committed to creating spaces where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued—because when voices rise, stories become strength.
Our Vision:
To create a world where every individual is empowered to share their story, embrace their voice, and inspire positive change within themselves and their communities.
Our Motto:
Where Voices Rise and Stories Become Strength.

LaToya Jefferson is the founder and visionary behind Mi Lyfe Mi Storii, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals through writing, storytelling, and self-expression.
As a child, LaToya discovered the power of journaling during moments when she struggled to express her thoughts and emotions aloud. Writing became more than words on a page—it became a place of reflection, release, and healing. Through journaling, she learned that stories have the power to help us understand ourselves, navigate life’s challenges, and find strength in our experiences.
Years later, what began as a personal practice evolved into a greater purpose. Inspired by her own journey and guided by a vision to help others find their voice, LaToya founded Mi Lyfe Mi Storii to create spaces where individuals can write, reflect, heal, and grow.
Through the organization’s signature youth program, The Writing Circle, LaToya is committed to helping young people develop confidence, strengthen communication skills, and discover the power of self-expression. Her passion is rooted in the belief that every person has a story worth telling and that writing can be a powerful tool for personal growth, resilience, and transformation.
Today, LaToya continues to lead Mi Lyfe Mi Storii with a heart for service, a passion for empowering others, and a vision of communities where every voice is valued and every story matters.
“What began as my way of coping became my calling. Through writing, I found my voice. Through Mi Lyfe Mi Storii, I hope others find theirs.”
