The Grass after the Drought
This is an inspirational story about a young girl who has to overcome major adversity, at a very tender age. After leaving Chicago, and a drug addicted mother, Melissa is taken to live with her grandmother in Mississippi. Away from the drugs, crime, violence, and poverty; Melissa is faced with a much more difficult task.
She has to accept the fact that she is invisible in the eyes of her family. Starved for love and attention, she finds comfort in the form of drugs, alcohol, men, and sex. With her life spiraling out of control, Melissa turns to God for guidance. With her mother up to her old tricks, Melissa is forced to step up and assume responsibility once again. After years of heartache and pain, she finds what she has been searching for all of her life.

Melissa Dorsey - Motivational Speaker
MotivationalSpeaker for At-Risk Youth and Troubled Young People
I am also available to come to your school, church, youth center, convention, and etc, to speak with young people who may be in trouble.
I have been there and done just about everything. Life has been like a roller coaster for me, so I am qualified to tell you a thing or three! I go from school to school speaking to young kids, especially young girls. I tell these children the story of my life, and try to guide them in the right direction. I take myself very seriously when it comes to speaking with the youth. They are the future, and should be treated as such. This life is not about me, it's about helping and saving others from some of the hardships that I have suffered.
I am flexible, and my rates are extremely affordable.
