The Daring Podcast

MGN Radio welcomes Melissia Rene to our podcast.

Born in Belleville Illinois, Melissia spent her childhood between St. Louis and Las Vegas. Melissia was deemed a social butterfly by her peers and made friends fast. Living in an area of grandeur helped her realize her dreams of acting, so Melissia surrounded herself with people who brought out the natural star status from within. It wasn’t long that Melissia found herself going down a path she was not quite ready for so early in life. Finding herself pregnant at the age of 16, though scared, Melissia was able to find inner- strength to mold a new path.

With the support of her parents, Melissia found the courage and determination to press forward. Her naturally sweet, inviting personality later attracted the love of her life when she met a young ambitious boxer, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Though the love affair ended, their friendship grew deeply all while being doting parents to daughter, Iyanna Mayweather. The experiences she cultivated as a young woman only just begun, all while setting the tone of becoming a successful yet determined entrepreneur.

Melissia discovered her hidden talents in the business of celebrating women: the beauty industry. With that, she created “Devanna Love”, a boutique beauty bar specializing in trendy women's fashion, select designer apparel and TMT specialty items. The establishment supports women with helping them find their inner strength within.

Outside of being a budding entrepreneur, Melissia’s philanthropic efforts are nothing short of phenomenal. She lends her time to various organizations such as The Shade Tree, Las Vegas Rescue Mission and Safe Nest in addition to helping at-risk youth through various non- profit organizations. Through it all, Melissia has emerged through the fray as a successful businesswoman, philanthropist and motivational speaker.

Adrena Martin-Tolbert is a 27 year old entrepreneur, creator, and author, hailing from Chicago, IL. She is also owner and founder of AMTolbert Enterprises, LLC., which is the parent company of her 2 brands CreationZ From A Dove, and VEU Magazine.

After careful consideration, and few conversations with friends, in the summer of 2015, Adrena decided to start her very own magazine. She realized how hard it was for small business owners, underground artists, people, and other issues to gain notoriety from mainstream magazines, so she decided to create something different. The focus of VEU Magazine is to feature, spotlight, and bring awareness to various people, and issues that need to be heard around the world. 

Along with being an entrepreneur, Adrena enjoys giving back to the community, and helping others in need, which is evident through her membership in Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc.  She desires to one day be able to start a foundation to help other aspiring entrepreneurs receive the necessary training.
