About Melissa Boles
I have been a storyteller for as long as I can remember.Whether it was the stories I wrote as a child, the videos I edited as a teen, or the social media accounts I run now, I have long been sharing stories about real people doing great things. I have worked with countless non-profits and political organizations since 2007 and helped them design programming, recruit people to their cause, and share what they are doing.Throughout my life and in my writing, I have endeavored to be a voice for breaking the stigma on mental and behavioral health, sharing your own story, and creating space for others to share their stories safely.No matter what I have been doing, I have always been thinking about story - how we share our work and our world with others. I spend my free time reading and writing short stories and essays. You can find my body of work at melissaboles.com.
