2023 Children's and Family Emmy Award winner

Mykal-Michelle Harris (born March 6, 2012) also known as Mimi is an American actress, producer and singer.[1] In 2022, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences recognized her work with the Children's and Family Emmy Awards nomination for Peacock's The Kid's Tonight Show in the category of Outstanding Host Outstanding.[2][3] [4] [5]In 2023, Mykal-Michelle Harris was also recognized with a NATAS nomination for the role of Alice Baxter (young cousin of Raven Baxter) in Disney Channel's Raven's Home for the category of Younger Performer in a Preschool, Children's or Young Teen Program. The Television Academy awarded Mykal-Michelle Harris this Emmy during the 2023 awards presentation.[6]

Mykal-Michelle Harris was born in Delran, New Jersey where she resided with her parents and siblings for the first three years of her life. She then moved to Southern California where she continues to reside.

Mykal-Michelle began her career as a viral kid with 16,000,000+ views (across social media platforms) on a video her mother Dr. Kimberly Harris posted on her private facebook page about Harris describing how she could be like Serena Williams the tennis star.[7][8] Williams' social media channel along with many others picked up the story which sent Harris into a whirlwind press tour for twenty-four hours.[9][10] With all of the exposure on mainstream television Harris started getting industry related phone calls where she ended up on Steve Harvey's Little Big Shots in 2017.[11]. After the airing of that show, Harris took meetings from a number of Los Angeles talent agencies and management agencies where she secured representation across the board and began her Hollywood career.[12]

Harris' professional career began with print work for Burlington (Coat Factory), television commercial ads for IBM Watson and Dunkin Donuts.
