Building a charity and getting out of our comfort zone with Mel Histon

Melissa Histon is a woman on a mission to give women a voice.

Breast Cancer and a trip to Nepal led to Mel creating The Sista Code events and community of wonderful women that supports and empowers other women in May 2014.

In January 2016, Melissa founded the charity, ‘Got Your Back Sista’, which empowers women to thrive after leaving domestic violence. Melissa was named, ‘Newcastle Woman of the Year’ and was a finalist in the ‘Newcastle University Alumni Awards’ during 2017. In a further bid to lift and give women a voice, Melissa launched the ‘Hey Soul Sista’ podcast in September 2019.

Whether it's building a house for the homeless in Nepal, interviewing inspiring women from around the globe, or creating domestic violence community campaigns, Mel knows that true change can only happen when we all stand together and boost each other.
