Tatiana Melendez
Tatiana is my brother's stepdaughter. On Christmas Day 2020, I brought the ballet magazine that she graces the cover on to my mom's house, where my family was meeting, and tried to get it signed. Unfortunately, the paint pen that I brought completely dried up and didn't work. Tati offered to take the magazine home and sign it there and then my brother would bring it to me the following day.
Tatiana signed the cover of the Fall 2020 issue of Pointe.
