About

My name is Melodía J. Parker. I'm a writer and poet. I'm currently based in Baltimore, Maryland and Washington, DC.

I was born in West Germany. I also lived in West Berlin and London. I came to the United States when I was 3 years old. I've been stuck here ever since, unless the Republicans finally deport me.

I'm a Gen X'er. That means I lived in the 20th century, during the 1900s.

I registered to vote in 1997. I chose unaffiliated as my political party, which I never changed until 2025. That's when I officially became a Democrat! It made sense for me to finally become a Democrat, as I always voted for Democrats in every general election. Now, I can finally vote in the primaries!

I speak English and Spanish fluently. I can also speak some French.

I became a vegetarian in 1997. I took it one step further in 2020 when I became a vegan.

I meditate daily. I practice yoga daily. I do strength training 4-5 times a week. I run a few times a week if the weather is decent. 

I am spiritual, not religious. I don't believe in any gods or demons or in holy books. My spirituality is based in nature.

I am multicultural and multiethnic. In other words, I'm what the Republicans hate, DEI!

I could read and write in two languages by the time I was 3. My love of writing and reading has been lifelong!

If you don't like that I'm a writer, then you'll have to complain to Stephen King. He's the reason why I became a writer.

I have 4 college degrees.

In March 2025, I decided that I didn't have enough education, so I went back to school to start my journey into CPA licensure.
