Hi and welcome to another episode of the Theatre of U. A show all about celebrating people who are rocking their UQ.

Each week on this show I draw back the curtains to reveal a person or brand who has stepped into their own uniqueness and are playing a starring role in their own show.

Today's special guest is one of my closest buddies and someone I am proud to call a SISTA - Melissa Histon.

Mel is a woman on a mission to make a real difference to the lives of women.

After experiencing a number of life-altering events, Melissa created an online community called The Sista Code in May 2014 with a dream to see women empowered, happy and connected. The Sista Code has grown into an online community of 16,000 women from around the globe: a community of women that empowers other women.

In January this year, the charitable arm of The Sista Code was established a charity called Got Your Back Sista, which helps women who have escaped domestic violence to start their lives again!

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

You can contact Mel and check out her website at http://thesistacode.com/

I hope you enjoyed today's show and want to invite you to step up and play the starring role in your unique story.
