MimiTVA is…

undeniably authentic media!

“Seasoned with the sun & spice of Asia, Africa, and the West Indies… Imbued with a history that doesn’t speak to the magnificence of our culture…@ MimiTVA we visualize it and realize it - everyday.”

— Mimi Machado-Luces

MimiTVA

 

a NYC performance by Alex Cuba…

@MimiTVA… We showcase our culture, and deliver the possibilities that good ideas spring forth - creativity, understanding and belonging to a targeted audience long overlooked and dismissed as irrelevant.

@MimiTVA… We celebrate the customs, rituals, stories, meals and music that have sustained humanity for centuries.

@MimiTVA… We lift up our ancestors, speaking their names proudly and prominently in the foreground of our stories. We aim to display narratives that speak to the heart and soul of the African Diaspora.

MimiTVA is undeniably authentic media!
