Mia L. Hazlett is the mother of two wonderful daughters. Since becoming a single mother in 2009, Mia faced blatant bias and stereotypes. She didn’t like it, so she set out to change the narrative for single mothers everywhere. She wrote her second book Single Professional Mother and established a podcast by the same name, to eliminate the negative stereotypes associated with single mothers. 

This journey stemmed from Mia ending her marriage and while trying to navigate single motherhood. Mia was unemployed for 15 months and found herself depending on the grace and mercy of family and friends, all the while experiencing food and housing insecurity.

Once Mia’s feet found grounding, she became unstoppable.  With a drive to be an example for her daughters she set goal after goal for herself and never looked back. Not only is Mia an author, but she has decades of executive management experience, where she has provided elite assistance to presidents and board executives. Mia is also a two time TEDx Talk speaker. 

Mia serves on the Bridgewater State University Alumni Association Board as well as its African-American Alumni Association. She is a hearing officer for the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers and Notary Public. Mia is also a member of the ForbesBLK Community.

Mia holds her Bachelors of Science in Business Administration and has received three Certificate of Completions and a Certificate of Specialization from Harvard Business School Online.
