After opening Naturally Speaking in September 1999, She successfully lobbied the state of Mississippi to release those who wanted to braid hair for a living. In July 2005 a bill was signed into law. Since that time more than 4000 jobs and hundreds of first-time entrepreneurs have been created statewide. Melony's efforts and advocacy have also helped states like Arkansas, Texas, Kentucky to do the same just to name a few.
