Lessons In Patience | Melissa Callender | Substack

Melissa began writing in the early postpartum period after the birth of her daughter, using the practice as a way to process and document the transformation. Her work often blends personal narrative - pulling from her experience as a mother and woman of color, with reflective observation, attending to the ordinary moments that reveal deeper emotional and relational truths. She is currently working on personal essays and reflective prose.
