Come with me as I check into the Wyndham Alltra in Samaná, Dominican Republic! You already know I had to do a quick room tour the second I walked in. From the smell (yes, that’s a thing!) to the mini bar and that balcony view —here’s my unfiltered first impression. Would you stay here? Let me know what you think in the comments! #travel #hotel #wyndham #samana #dominicanrepublic #visitdom #melissarosecooper #travelnoire #melanin

Because when peace calls, best believe I’m answering with a carry-on! Life has been CRAZY the last few months but I am FINALLY getting around to posting content from my beautiful trip to the Dominican Republic. I spent time exploring Samaná — soaking in the peace, the culture, the views. A much needed soft life reset. Looking forward to the next one 🥹 #dominicanrepublic #visitdominicanrepublic #travel #travelnoire #melissarosecooper #blackgirlmagic #melanin #caribbean

Did you know composting is now the law in NYC? Yep, you could get fined for tossing food scraps in the trash. Do you think this is a smart move for the city—or is it doing too much? Let’s talk about it. #news #composting #nyc

Have you ever felt healed just by hearing the right song at the right moment? I asked DJ Jel what it’s like when he plays a track and the crowd goes wild. He said it’s euphoric. But deeper than that — he said it’s a feeling a lot of people outside our culture might never experience, even referencing a line from “Feel the Love” by @wearefreetown and @djprivateryan: “People live a thousand lives and never feel this free.” Because for us, it’s more than music. It’s release. It’s what our ancestors left us. And sometimes, it’s exactly what we need to feel whole again. Whew… Thank you @jelinthemix for such a wonderful interview! And thanks again @thespotcafebk for letting us set up! Full convo’s up on YouTube. #soca #djjel #sharingwithmel #youtube #interview #music #healing

This chicken had me at “Papi.” Seriously — one bite of Papi’s Chicken and I was speechless. Dominican comfort food done RIGHT at The Spot, a family-run gem where the flavors are passed down and the love is in every bite. We sat down with the owner and his dad — the OG behind this mouthwatering dish — and trust me, this is just a taste of what’s coming in Season 2 of It’s Pretty Good With Mel. Y’all ready? #ItsPrettyGoodWithMel #DominicanFood #TheSpot #PapisChicken #FoodieFinds #ComfortFoodGoals

Does the Soca Mafia exist? 👀 Honestly, it wasn't even something on my mind. But since it came up in convo, I wouldn't be a true journalist if I didn't take notes and come with the proper follow-up. I think I caught DJ Jel a little off guard. Man had to gulp a couple sips of his coffee quick LOL! But his answer was very insightful. Find out all tea... or rest of the coffee in this instance... when Unfiltered with the Soca Boss goes live on my YouTube page this Sunday, 7 pm EST. Link coming soon! #soca #youtube #interview #sharingwithmel
