Mellicia Marx learned about WaWF from a friend over lunch in 2022. She was so inspired by the conversation that she joined the Grant Engagement Team before their meal ended. Since then, she’s been a part of GET, the Membership Engagement Team and attended as many events as possible to learn more about the foundation. The more she learned, the more she loved it.

Her prior career was in philanthropy including several years of public service and nonprofit work. Mellicia also has a Masters in Public Administration. Since 2013, she’s been the owner of Poplin Style Direction where she provides personal styling services for women, empowering each member of her community to look and feel her best as she communicates her authentic personal style.
