I’m That Bitch with Melisa Valdez
Welcome to a brand new episode of the ¿Quién Tú Eres? podcast, where we explore the conflict we often face between "professionalism" & being our authentic selves. This week's guest is Melisa Valdez.
Melisa Valdez is a Host, Movement coach, and Actor who is an authentic space maker, a proud Afro-Latina excited to bring her energy into any room she enters. She is the In-arena host for the Boston Celtics and has worked hosting other major events for brands such as Red Bull, Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation, FazeClan, Embrace Boston, and more. Melisa has a professional dancing background and has traveled the world on tour performing with various major artists, one of them being Elvis Costello.
In this week’s episode, Melisa shares how she took a leap of faith and became a professional dancer. It wasn't an easy decision, she picked up nightlife jobs, retail jobs, and even a banking job to support her dream. But once she knew her mother supported her dream, she was unstoppable. After traveling all over the world as a dancer, she broadened her horizons and booked more diverse performing gigs. And as she performs, she’s providing positive representation for Black and Brown girls in creative spaces all over the country. Listen to hear more about Melisa’s story and what plans she has for the future.
