A New York-born, Atlanta-raised artist, Melora has carved a path toward producing and directing her own material with years of industry work. The daughter of a journalist and documentarian, Melora’s path began with reality and post work (Top Chef/BRAVO, Love That Girl/TvOne) before she joined the Akil Productions team in 2010. Melora served as Director’s Assistant for both television and film projects ahead of landing a spot with the writing staff on BET’s Being Mary Jane.
In 2015, with Akil Productions under an overall deal at Warner Bros., Melora accepted an executive position to continue writing and developing with the company. The first sale in this deal, Black Lightning/The CW, solidified her new role as Director of Development. Intent to both write and produce, Melora wrote for Black Lightning while developing and selling Love Is ___ to OWN in 2017. Promoted the following year to VP of Production, Melora expanded her role, producing and writing on both shows.
Shadowing and prepping with some of the industry’s finest directors has only renewed Melora’s focus to get behind the lens next. Based in Los Angeles, she continues to write and develop her own projects, preparing for the next stage in her career as an artist and filmmaker.
