She has performed in front of audiences at The National Black Book Festival, The Ohio State University, Laughin & Loungin, Writing Wrongs Poetry open mic events, Newark Public Library, and other places around the country. Her hard work finally paid off in August of 2010 when she released her first book titled, "Dead Wrong."Melica has a Master's Degree in Health Services/Business and is a Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner (CPRP). Currently, she works with individuals with Developmental Disabilities and has over 10 years of experience in the Human Services field.
