(They/Them) is beyond grateful to learn under such beautiful performers. Being given a chance to step back during the pandemic has allowed Mell to look at every opportunity to perform as a gift. They would like to thank their sister Candice for always being a guiding light during their journey and showing love to their mentor Rochelle for helping start their career and being there every step of the way to help. Dedicating every show to their late mothers Gail and Carmelita, and the Goddess whom they treasure for the life they lead. @MellanieBurkeMissouri
