Melany J. Silas is the Keynote Speaker for The Healthy Baby Network


Associate Professor, Melany J. Silas was the keynote speaker for The Healthy Baby Network earlier this month.  She spoke on the topic “Celebrating Motherhood,” and discussed the power of mothers from infancy and beyond.  She incorporated her poetry, health and counseling background to deliver a powerful address.  Members of the audience included agencies serving young, single and poverty-stricken mothers throughout the county.  Silas dedicated her speech to her paternal grandmother, whom she lost this past April after a yearlong battle with pancreatic cancer. 

Professor Silas was also honored at The Links, Inc. luncheon for her creative works in the Arts as a playwright, producer and director with her company MJS Productions.  Congratulations, Professor Silas!  Continue to bridge your creativity and expertise with MCC students and your work within the community.
