Melissa Danielle FaMily business

Meet the incredibly cool and extremely talented Melissa Danielle, an actress who now is producing movies. She has worked on highly successful visual projects like The Hunger Games and Orange is the New Black, to name a couple things you might be familiar with. What is super cool about her is that she is my first cousin. My Aunt Donna, her mother would come to Rhode Island from New York to visit family. Back then Missy and her brother would hang out with everyone, but as time passed by everybody settled into their own lives. I joined the military and traveled the world, but always kept an eye on what she was doing. I was the proud cousin rooting Melissa on from a far. She would post these clips of her acting or teasers of what new project she was working on. She has always been very creative and just a beautiful spirit. A little of a year ago l had contacted her and she was in Puerto Rico working on a movie. The fruits of that trip are materializing as we speak in the form of a critically acclaimed movie, named Aurora the Movie. This movie has a bunch of familiar faces in it and is getting coverage from news outlets like Fox news. I love rooting for projects and people that may not get the attention they deserve, but when your family is involved, it makes it so much sweeter. I can tell this is just the start of something special, and Melissa has been grinding for years.

She has been chasing a dream and building great relationships. Sometimes in life when you are planting seeds you eventually get to enjoy the harvest. I cannot emphasize how proud I am of her and her journey. I can relate to Melissa’s story, she has worked her butt off and now her time to shine is here now. Do yourselves a favor and go see Aurora the Movie, it is in theaters nationally in all major cities and on movie rental platforms on January 27th 2023. Rumor has it that people are saying it is a holiday classic according to a correspondent on Fox News.
