In the short-term Melissa hopes to co-design and pilot simple, culturally-appropriate breath work, movement, resilience and personal empowerment interventions for grassroots level communities in Namibia that encourages the internal co-creation, participation and eventually autonomous facilitation of the program.
Upon evidence-based proof of concept, her dream is to leverage the vast Mandela Washington Fellowship alumni network in order to adapt this intervention for the rest of Africa such that it both supports and leverages our diverse continental landspace.
