Speaking about the upcoming award, Mel B expressed pride in achieving this honor from her hometown university, where she has also pursued studies in trauma-informed care.
Reflecting on her journey, she shared how leaving her abusive marriage prompted her to reset her life, including moving back in with her mother due to financial challenges.
