Name: Melody
Occupation: Barista and Shift Lead at Gold Leaf Coffee in Ormond Beach
What are you passionate about and why? I’m passionate about being involved in our local community, and craft coffee keeps me connected while working in a creative and fast paced environment. My heart is in my work!
Do you have a mentor?
I view Steno Augustine as my mentor. He embodies love and light in everything he does, and he’s graceful even in the toughest of times. I admire those qualities in him and I know I can always count on him for guidance.
Do you have a favorite artist or author?
I’ve been identifying with an artist I found on Instagram who goes by Sunlightafterdark. Her work is simple yet beautiful, and she sometimes uses messages within her art that resonate deeply with me.
What do you love most about yourself?
No matter what is going on or how hard things get, I can always find something to laugh about. Laughing keeps me sane! It’s a good reminder to not take things too seriously.
