Nicole Melancon is a freelance journalist, blogger, and social good advocate.

Landing in India, she received her “third eye”, which symbolizes wisdom. It reinforced her strong belief that you must view the world with a third eye and as openly as possible. Nicole’s dream is to teach her children and others through her work to live compassionate open-minded lives and understand different cultures and the importance of giving back to those in need.
