Why I started MB

I started Melanin Bliss Media because I kept running into the distance between what institutions know and what patients are told. After 15 years in healthcare, I had the answers to questions my own community was still asking.

Then I lived it. In 2022, a car crash left me paralyzed, and I was dismissed by institutions like those I had served. MB is the platform I needed then, and the one my readers need now.
