Interview of Mel Baker
Cult Critic : What was the initial spark that led you to create ‘Say My Name’?
Mel : The initial spark came from a dream I had in 2020 while writing my first book in the trilogy series, Sleeping Under the Bridge. This dream envisioned the book being adapted into a short film to generate interest and empower people. My goal was to offer hope to those who feel hopeless and give a voice to the voiceless. My writing aims to inspire transformation, show that it is possible. Say My Name encapsulates a part of my journey and resonates with universal themes of child abuse, domestic violence, homelessness, and ultimately hope.Â
