She is currently a licensed Evangelist at her church, Bethlehem Apostolic Faith Holiness Church of God, located in Dorchester, Massachusetts.

She is committed to the vision of the church and the vision God has for her life and the lives of others. She ministers through teaching, preaching and meeting the needs of her community. 

 

She is the founder and director of an outreach program in her community, called REACH. The acronym for REACH is (Remember Everyone And Care Hastily). This program has community days that support the local community. One annual event is giving free hats, gloves, soup and items for people who just moved into their home. When people come she and the Community Team, Miss. Stuart and Dec. Stuart also uses that opportunity to help in any other way they can. Many times people have come to pick up items from the community event and it turned into a prayer session and hugs. She is also the founder and director of women's gatherings called, Let's Talk. It is held once a year and women issues are discussed with solutions; women leave feeling empowered, relaxed and focused on their goals.

 

She is a singing artist who has two songs published entitled, Don't Wanna Be The Same and Jesus Is The Way.

She has a life channel as a blogger on YouTube. The channel is about advice in relationships, health, beauty, hair tips and she also gives reviews on products. Melissa knows that life can be difficult and how quick useful information can be helpful. You can find the YouTube channel under her name, Melissa Freeman. You must listen to her podcast called Like It It With Melissa. It is funny, real and encouraging. You can also follow all of her social medias: Instagram and Facebook.

 

Writing this book, What's Butterflies Got To Do With It, allows her to share some of her knowledge. The prayer box is an additional spiritual support system. The prayer box will increase your faith  and support a healthy prayer habit. While you are reading a book that takes you on a journey you want to make sure you are stable on the journey and the pray box will support stability.

 

One of her favorite quotes by Maya Angelou- If you get, give, and if you learn, teach. The podcast and all of her social medias are also a way were she can give wisdom and many perspectives to life situations.

But if you are asking what's butterflies got to do with it. Melissa will say absolutely nothing!
