The BAM :
Kemba Melanie
The Badass Business:
She is the “business”.
The Why:
I started my business because I too knew what it felt like to initially receive an autism diagnosis for my children and not know what, where, or who to turn to.
When I began learning and understanding more about support and services and the IEP, I was told one too many times that teachers wished more parents were like me.
I realized parents weren’t as aware because they lacked understanding and so I grew more and more determined to help parents understand the autism diagnosis and how to best support their children in school.

The Badass Business:
“Cam’s World”
The Why:
I wrote "Cam's World" book because my son was diagnosed with autism.
I also wrote the book because I want to help children who are not on the spectrum to have a better understanding of children who are on the spectrum and hopefully it will stop a lot of bullying and inspire kids to be more kind and accepting.

Liam’s Library was created to spread Liam’s Joy and Love for reading to the world. It was launched in order to give hope to autism moms and foster courage to those trying to find their voice. This is one of my first steps in raising a confident, self-loving, empowered young man!

A Piece of Awareness is dedicated to supporting parents of children with diverse needs, offering resources and empowerment to navigate their unique challenges. Each entity within my company was designed to cater to a specific individual requiring support.
