Melanie's Journey

Melanie joined Empowering HER Destiny as a junior in high school through our Journey to Confidence workshop. At the time, she was experiencing isolation, low confidence, and withdrawal due to bullying.

​

Through mentoring and community support, Melanie reconnected with her passion for cooking and began exploring it as more than a hobby. With guidance from her mentors, she maintained straight A’s, joined Phi Theta Kappa, launched a catering business, and began sharing her work publicly.

​

In 2022, Melanie completed our mentoring program and became the first recipient of the Mildred Whitley Scholarship, honoring artistic legacy and resilience. She earned her Associate’s Degree in Culinary Arts in 2025 and continues to advance her skills in hospitality.

Today, Melanie is thriving academically, mentally, and creatively—standing as a testament to what happens when Black girls are supported, protected, and believed in.
