Giving women a voice. Campaigning to end of domestic violence. Empowering women to thrive.

Melissa Histon is the Founder and CEO of Got Your Back Sista charity, Founder of The Sista Code community and events organisation, and Host of her Hey Soul Sista podcast.

Mel was ascending the corporate ladder when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in her mid-thirties, changing her view of the world, and the course of her life forever. 

Once she recovered, she gave away the corporate life and began a commercial photography business, which led her to Nepal for a photography project for the making of a documentary. ‘Latitude’ shines a light on the seedy underbelly of Nepal; the sex-trafficking of Nepali girls and women. The girls she met and stories she heard while travelling in Nepal, once again, shifted her life to one of activism, advocacy and philanthropy
