Welcome to Mella Davis, Writes!
I want to invite you on a journey with me. I desire to speak fearlessly for my heavenly King and pen messages of victory, truth, and healing in each sentence. May you find every poem, devotional, or story a God-glorifying canvass. May each message contain revelation, wisdom, and intimacy with the persons of the holy Trinity.
I am honored that you are joining me on this adventure as I pen words that seek to fearlessly make known the mystery of God’s redemptive purpose in our human stories within HIStory.
About Mella
In high school, I felt truly gifted to do one small thing: write. Recently, God has sparked writing again in my heart for a profound reason: the world needs an honest word of refreshing right now.
Truthfully, I think I came out the womb babbling. Words are in my veins. As a young child, I made up rhymes and created imaginary worlds- a way to escape societal and private hardship.
Later, I began my author pilgrimage as a poet, but children’s literature now also stirs my heart. I compose from my Texas roots. My love of African oral lore and cultural traditions serve as the basis of much of my fiction. My stories illustrate the perseverance, strength, and fortitude that created Black success in America.
As an ethnographer and educational missionary, I’ve had the opportunity to experience and do life in many different cultural venues. These multicultural experiences influence both my poetry and devotionals. But God remains at the center of it all. His healing presence always made manifest.

The Fixer
The Lord has just given me a revelation of something which I think will not only bring healing to myself, but to others who are on the field of education. When I was a child, I was a fixer. My grandfather wouldn't like to take baths, so I was the one to give him a...
Wisdom
Being a missionary is sort of like being an acrobat. One is walking a tightrope of time and boundaries while juggling and riding a bicycle... well, at least that's the way it feels for me. Most mornings I'm up a little before seven, sometimes earlier if Holy Spirit...
Yellow Pages
Lesson one. There used to be a saying: let your fingers do the walking. Well that was the ad for the Yellow pages. You would open the Yellow pages, turn it, and find what you were looking for. I want to make an addendum to that statement: Let your dressing do the...
