Hi! I'm Michelle. I am a Canadian and your host to the podcast. So how did i come up with the idea of the podcast? Well it started in the fall of 2019. I was on maternity leave, looking for more than just motherhood, I was looking for stimulating adult conversations. After being introduced to the world of podcasting and listening to what people had to say, I wanted to have voice as well. I launched "A Shot of Melanin" in 2020, and haven't looked back ever since.
