This week we had the opportunity to speak with model and host, Mel Brazilia. We talk about Anderson Paak, Breezy Lovejoy, living in New York, rapper names, Kneecap Willie, St. Johns, showing up for yourself, and being in charge of your own happiness.

"Melissa was born and raised in southern California where she acquired a cool, chill, and happy mindset! She is a lover of life and people and has a strong appetite for travel, food, and music. With California energy rushing through her blood she took to NYC at 18 years old to study Broadcast Journalism and communications. After seven years of enduring the big city teachings and studying in Rome, Italy Melissa found her self back in Los Angeles, CA where she pursues her modeling and hosting career. Over the past few years she has stepped more into humanitarianism and envisions her career to take place in that mold by merging writing, entertainment, modeling, and social & environmental awareness together. She hopes that her optimistic view of the world can be shared, heard, and felt and help those that may struggle to see the beauty in it all."

Song of the Day: RNP - YBN Cordae ft. Anderson Paak
