The Continuing Artistic Journey: Melissa shares her experience of pursuing a theater career, becoming a mother, and her continuing passion to assist the artistic community | 46

Art is legitimate work. That being said, the conversations we often have around art and careers seek to exclude the artist from the society that they help enrich. Join us today as we speak with Melissa about her theatrical career, her times spent in the depth of “Head Trash” (More in the episode on that!), and her inspiring and amazing plan to continue to make sure Art is seen as legitimate and needed work.
