Melissa Alam | Founder of The Hive Philly & Founder of Femme and Fortune

There is a growing trend of freelancers throughout the world.
Although her beginning is very similar to hear, her path has many
interesting twist and turns. Melissa started her entrepreneur
career during her studies of marketing at Temple University.
After college, she worked at a few ad agencies before she went
completely on her own as a freelancer. She felt comfortable with
her decision to become a freelancer because she likes traveling,
she likes the ability to make her own schedule, being own boss,
and of course all of the additional life style perks of a
talented individual who freelances. During her time helping some
of the best marketing companies throughout the world, Melissa
started her own online magazine called Femme and Fortune. Femme
and Fortune currently has over 90 contributors discussing things
like dating, culture, lifestyle, tech, travel, and so much more.
All for the millennial female! Melissa's next business is a
co-working space, all for women. "Creating the Hive Philly has
been a life chasing experience" Says Melissa. She loves the
changing landscape of business and wants to find a way to empower
women. Not only throughout the Philadelphia region, but the
world! When asked why!? Melissa responded in saying that she saw
a void in the marketplace. "There is no location or business in
philadelphia for women." She started the magazine to put out a
modern and millennial voice for her magazine and a place for
women to create and build with the Hive Philly. Melissa hates
having nothing to do. She's constantly busy and enjoys being "all
over the place" Her passion comes from the want in creating name
for herself. Judging by her work ethic and passion in her voice,
it's obvious that she's off to a great start. #Timestamps 00:30-
