Melissa is a Missouri-based writer and former Southern Baptist who now speaks out against Christian nationalism, authoritarianism, and systemic injustice in America. Her work blends personal experience with political commentary, always rooted in truth-telling, love, and the refusal to stay silent. She writes to reach those conditioned to look away—and to remind them it’s never too late to speak up.
