MelVee X is a triple threat – she’s a spoken word poet, burlesque dancer and visual artist who’s shared her work across Canada, aka Turtle Island, for the last nine years. She’s the CEO of MVX STUDIOS – a multidisciplinary hub for bold and empowered artistic expression based in Mohkinstsis (Calgary AB).
It is her vision and practice to cultivate spaces for unapologetic storytelling, particularly from underserved and marginalized communities who’s voices have been silenced. MelVee’s work is rooted in her own experiences as a neurodivergent mixed race Black woman who thrives at the intersections and implosions of multiple identities. In spite of all the contradictions, somehow she makes the pieces fit.
The struggle is real and the resistance looks damn good.
SYNC Leadership m'aidera à surmonter les obstacles et les défis auxquels je suis confrontée dans ma pratique en tant qu'artiste neurodivergente avec la confiance et les compétences dont j'ai besoin pour faire progresser ma carrière au niveau supérieur.
