About Me

My "gubment" name is Melissa. I am in a commited relationship with the love of my life, Aneesha. How awesome to have a cheerleader, a best friend, a spouse, a road dawg and your soul mate in the same person. I have been a part of the Charlotte poetry scene for over three years and I am about to embark on a new aspect of poetry. Slam! OMG! Yep, I'm gonna tackle some fears and challenge myself. I am also preparing for college in the fall. But the most important part is, MY BIRTHDAY! July 21st puts me in a new age bracket. 40 and fabulous! Thanks to all my friends (understatement) for loving me enough to want to ride this train of life with me!
