Mel Baker

Dr Mel Baker is not your ordinary educator. She is a storyteller, a filmmaker, a podcaster, and a survivor. She has a doctorate in adult education, but she also has a wealth of life experiences that have shaped her into who she is today. She has faced childhood abuse, homelessness, domestic violence, adult trauma, mental health challenges, and identity crises, but she has also found healing, resilience, and hope.

Mel's five published books and her film Say My Name tells her story through the lens of trauma leading to hope.
