Author Bio
Hello there! My name is Mikaela Duffy and I am an award-winning Brooklyn-based author and playwright. I am ecstatic to bring art into the world through as many mediums as I can. Through meticulous efforts, I have found a passion in writing the stories that need to be told, creating characters that need to be seen, and giving voice to what needs to be heard.
