We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Melisha Boyd a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Melisha, thanks for joining us today. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?

I came up with the idea based upon my love for children and seeing them succeed MENTALLY, emotionally and physically. The name was birthed due to wanting to leave a legacy for my grandson. He’s named after his father and grandfather so my daughter and a few others call him “3”. I decided to name my business 3hree Mental Health and Enrichment.
We are a new business. So far it’s just myself and my mom but we know it will prosper and expand.

Melisha, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I used to go into schools and speak with children about mental health and daily challenges. I learned so much from them and what we can do as a community and society to assist them mentally. I spoke with children who needed food on the weekends and beds to lie on and it broke my heart.

Fast forward to today: I am currently providing mental health services in a correctional facility. My thought process is: if we can reach children and assist them with their needs, HOPEFULLY, we will not have to assist them in jail. We will go into the local schools and teach them skills, provide food if they need it at home, and collaborate with local communities to provide services and support where their families have needs.

I’m excited about what’s to come for us. As previously stated, we’re new. We are about to get started and we will not stop until each child and their families are in a better place.

Can you tell us the story behind how you met your business partner?

My mom is my business partner. So needless to say I’ve been knowing her my entire life. 😀

What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?

The best source of clients are the ones you spend the most time with in order to learn the stories their lives teach
