She has appeared on "The VIEW," "Access Hollywood," NBC Nightly News, and National Public Radio (NPR) and co-hosted "From Fear to Power," her weekly personal safety and self-defense radio show. Melissa has also written for Black Belt ("Women and the Killer Instinct") and has an article on "armored assailant training" scheduled for its May 2001 publication. In January, she made her cinematic debut with the original Paladin video production Fierce and Female (a two-tape set), which has been extremely well received.
