                                                       OTHERS WITH HEART



                                                                               AND VISION

































           Melanie  Rae  Robinson  was  a  woman  who  carried
           light  wherever  she  went.  Born  on  May  31,  1974,  in  “Nothing can DIM THE
           Boston,  Massachusetts,  Melanie  grew  up  on           light THAT shines
           Concord  Avenue  in  Cambridge,  surrounded  by  love    from within.”
           and  inspired  by  a  vibrant  community.  “The  Ave”
           wasn’t just a place for Melanie—it was a foundation,                     ― Dr. Maya Angelou

           a  home  that  nurtured  her  creativity,  strength,  and
           curiosity.  And  even  when  she  moved  across  the

           country  to  California  in  1998  to  chase  her  dreams,
           she  returned  often,  keeping  her  roots  close,
           grounded in family and lifelong friends.

           Melanie’s  curiosity  for  life  and  love  for  culture  first
           blossomed  at  Shady  Hill  School  in  Cambridge.  She
           thrived  in  a  space  that  celebrated  diversity  and
           encouraged young minds to explore the world. Later,
           she attended Governor Dummer Academy in Byfield
           before  earning  her  Bachelor’s  degree  in  Business
           Management  from  Boston  University.  Her  education
           shaped her, but it was her spirit that would leave an
           imprint on everyone she met.
