Explicit For A Pessimist I’m Pretty Optimistic Mia Rose Sarmiento In For A Pessimist I'm Pretty Optimistic, Mia, a writer, an artist, and a podcaster feels everything sometimes as she navigates this whirlwind of a life. Sometimes, she can be quite optimistic, and sometimes there tends to be a pessimistic cloud over her head that in most cases, refuses to leave her alone; in psychology it's called bipolar psychosis, but to Mia, it's merely the story of her life; coping and living with it. She unfolds it all and everything in between as she does so with courage, heart, & soul.Season 3 of For A Pessimist I'm Pretty Optimistic begins on September 7th!

Hailing from the city's gang ridden west side, the hard spitting femcee acknowledges an early exposure to the street life. Heavily influenced by the rap culture around her, Mika Luciano displays hard hitting verses laced with a distinct style, unique versatility, and boggling lyricism. As an affilliate of "Goon Affiliated Business" (G.A.B), a team with a repertoire of hip hop, R&B, and Soul Mika Luciano first went public debuting their song "Blunts, Bottles, and Bi***es".
