Hi. I’m Isa.

Isa Miles bridges the divide between creativity, storytelling, and communications as an art and science to advance health promotion. At Red Sofa she leads live productions and talent. She has developed and led health communication strategies and initiatives to address complex public health challenges both in the U.S. and globally, led formative and audience research activities for a variety of public health initiatives, and developed trainings about social behavior change communication and health equity communication principles for scientists, physicians, and other public health professionals. She has 15+ years of experience as a health communication strategist, 10+ years of which have been focused on HIV.

Dr. Miles is a graduate of Howard University (B.S.) and Harvard University T.H. Chan School of Public Health (M.S. and Sc.D). She completed a Kellogg post-doctoral fellowship in community based participatory research at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and is a former CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer.

She also has a love for the stage and is an actor on the Atlanta scene. Some of Isa’s stage credits include Bee-Luther-Hatchee (Shelita; 2022 Taurean Award Winner for Outstanding Actress), the world premiere production of The Coping Mechanism (Catherine), A Raisin in the Sun (Ruth; 2020 Taurean Award nominee for Best Supporting Actress), Blues for an Alabama Sky (Angel), Single Black Female (SBF2), A Song for Coretta (Zora, Gwen, Lil Bit), and Two Trains Running (Risa). She has also appeared in short films, PSAs, and training videos, co-created and hosted a series, Baking in Health Equity, and has lent her voice to several projects as a voice over actor. As a writer, Isa is working on her first original short play and a children’s book.
