Hey, I’m Melissa!

Welcome to
The Queenship,
I’m so glad you’ve found
your way here.

I am the face and spirit behind The Queenship.

I’ve been cooking for mostly all of my life and some of my fondest memories revolve around food. I’m terrified of baking, actually, because I love to just freestyle my way through a recipe. So, I’m especially proud of my buttermilk biscuit game since my time spent in quarantine.

In what feels like many moons ago, I was in finance (studying for my CFA designation), co-founded a 20k sq ft athletic training facility with my ex-husband, started a high end children’s event planning and programming company, had 2 amazing boys (Cassius and Cruz, 13 and 11, respectively) and got a dog (Basil, our Yorkie) along the way.

But, food has always been my first passion. It’s one of my love languages and a vehicle for me to express myself.  During my time as a stay at home mom is where I truly developed and explored my love for cooking. It was not uncommon for my ex-husband’s teammates to come to workout and leave with a bag of cookies.  I’d be testing several recipes throughout the week until I found what I thought was perfect and would often give away test batches.

After my divorce, and moving back to the US, in NYC almost 3 years now, I think I’ve been trying to find my voice and footing again. And so, well, here I am.

This year (2021) I decided to invest a little in myself and start taking my love a bit more seriously. As a mother, you’ll never think twice about investing in your children or partner but we seem to put ourselves at the bottom of the list. I was curious to see if the Universe would meet me at this new “vibration”, and it has, tenfold. I have met some incredibly talented, inspiring, and wonderful people over the last year and am very thankful you have chosen to join me on this journey.
