Meek was born to a Japanese mother and a White American father.[2] She grew up in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in West Mountain, Utah.[3] In her early teens, the family moved to Japan and she attended an international school, where she bonded with other biracial students.[2] Ultimately in 1997,[4] she graduated from Payson High School in Utah County, Utah.[5] Meek speaks Japanese.[2] As an adult, she changed her name to Miki, her mother's nickname for her, explaining, "It is definitely more me. It gives a nod to my Japanese side.”[2]
While still in college, Meek started her journalism career as a newspaper stringer for The Salt Lake Tribune.[6] She next found work as an online producer and editor National Geographic, specializing in interactive and visual storytelling; she ultimately helped launch the magazine's first website.[6] Meek transferred to The New York Times in 2008, serving in a similar role, where she stayed until 2011.[6]
Meek was one of the producers who earned a 2010 Emmy Award for New Approaches to News & Documentary Programming: Documentaries for One in 8 Million.[7] She won the award again the following year for the documentary 14 Actors Acting.[8] In 2014, she and 15 other contributors created the Instagram account @everydayusa, with the goal of answering "“What does America mean to me?" to people of varying backgrounds.[3] In 2019, she was one of the producers awarded a 2019 duPont-Columbia Award two-part episode "Our Town" of This American Life.[9]
