Episode 6: Adopting and Adapting With Melissa Vega-Magbitang
03/25/22 • 93 min
On this episode, you'll hear about how Melissa Vega-Magbitang, a branding and social media professional, finds joy and community on social media and how she creates space for herself when it isn’t a joyful place. You’ll also hear how she adapted to bringing her adopted dog Frank home almost two years ago. Melissa is Filipino-American and a passionate supporter of small businesses, especially those owned by women of color, and I’m proud to call her an early supporter of Kono’s Kitchen and more importantly, a friend in the Instagram dog community.
