The face, name, and ACTUAL person behind the blog! I am a 25-year-old black woman who wouldn’t be anywhere without the man upstairs, a strong support system, hard work, and life lessons. The Melanin Influence started as something I only thought about and I am more than thrilled to be sharing this with you!

TMI is a slang term known as “too much information.” This term is seen as something more on the not-so-positive side but I’ve decided to twist the term and make it something GOOD!

Having too much of the RIGHT information can be overwhelming and can feel like a complete overload, but with large pools of information, it’s easier to weigh out options and find the right things that fit right for ourselves.

Being able to execute this vision has been nothing but WORTHY!

A few things about me:

• I have a B.S. in Psychology

• I am a certified Life Coach

• I love music and late-night car rides (check out ONE of my fave Spotify playlists)

• I have had a passion for writing since I was seven years old

• I’m a poet

My hope and goal is to inspire the community by laying out a safe space of knowledge, positivity, and genuineness. Welcome! I hope you stay!
