In June of 2021, she was named a Vice President at Warner Brothers Studios in the TV drama development department. This move follows 2015's successful leap from publishing to television and film when she accepted the position of Head of Development at Rainforest Entertainment.

Prior to the career transition, Miller served as editor-in-chief of two of the country’s historic African-American magazines, EBONY and JET. She is the third individual and only woman to hold both positions.

The Connecticut native has co-authored five popular books over the past decade: The Angry Black Woman’s Guide to Life; The Vow: A Novel; and the three-title Hotlanta young adult series. In January 2015, Lifetime Network adapted The Vow: A Novel into the television movie, “With This Ring.” In September 2019, BET Network adapted The Angry Black Woman’s Guide to Life into the television movie, “Angrily Ever After.”

A frequent public speaker, in addition to keynote appearances at colleges and universities nationwide; Miller has been a featured guest on several national television programs, including ABC’s Good Morning America. She currently serves as the host of the Peabody Award-nominated criminal justice reform podcast, 70 Million.
