​Hola!

​I’m Meli, an experience creator and storyteller. I started With Meli as a way to share the richness, pride, and creativity of Afro-Panamanian culture within Panama’s multicultural identity.

​

Today, in collaboration with a team of Afro-Panamanian entrepreneurs, we design immersive journeys that invite travelers and locals to discover the stories, traditions, flavors, and rhythms that have shaped our heritage.

​

At the heart of With Meli, I act as a bridge — connecting people with authentic experiences and creating space for learning, reflection, and real cultural connection.
