Melanie McJannet Motivational Speaker from San Antonio, TX

Only a few short years into my modeling career I found myself stomping the runway at the Vogue VH1 fashion awards for Ralph Lauren alongside supermodel Gisele Bundchen. After that, I was catapulted into the thick of designer ad campaigns and the hollywood elite. My life spiraled downward into the abyss of the fashion and entertainment lifestyle. An industry that makes billions of dollars selling pipe dreams and false identity. It was here at the top of the dead end ladder I was disrupted forever. Sitting in yet another exclusive night club VIP lounge, my destiny was about to change. A jewish/born again former crack addict walks straight into the VIP and sits down next to me. Wasting no time he tells me God appointed this introduction and proceeds to divulge his prolific drug wars, and his relationship with King Jesus. That night I went home and asked a question to an unknown God that would completely disrupt EVERYTHING I thought I knew. It is no surprise to me that my counterfeit identity would be in the fashion world. I had all the right qualifications. Add to that a dose of vanity, pride, rebellion, and plain old ignorance and just follow the breadcrumbs! I know first hand just how bad the identity crisis is we are facing today. Just take a glance at social media and you will quickly see within the sea of selfies, duck faces, hair tousles, and a constant theme to "keep up with the Kardashians". As an inspirational speaker it is my passion and privilege to share with youth of all ages what I have learned about identity crisis, its cause and its cure. This world will give you a counterfeit identity if you don't already know who you are. This world is full of counterfeits. People are drudging through their lives feeling dissatisfied. Vicariously living through others who are seemingly living out their dreams. There is nothing more liberating than finding your true identity, and living it out to it's fullest! Everyone has a unique purpose and plan for their lives. Finding out who you are and what your purpose is will change everything. Join me as I take you on my journey, how the unthinkable happened that would reset my life's course forever. A young girl who seemingly had it all, drowning in a life that wasn't her own. A world of fame and fortune, where many are left for dead. I will reveal and tell all from behind the scenes and how you too can have a new life with purpose pushing you to greater heights in the adventure of a lifetime!!! Are you ready?
