VIVID is proud to announce the appointment of Melody Tremallo, Director of Chapter Services, to its Board of Directors. In just two months with our team, Melody has already made a meaningful impact through her insight, leadership, and unwavering commitment to our mission.

Melody brings with her a wealth of experience in community organizing and advocacy. A proud trans woman, she has worked extensively with the Trans Unity Coalition, championing equity and inclusion, and helping to lead the charge for the trans community in Austin. Her work continues to inspire and create tangible change for those often left unheard.

As Director of Chapter Services, Melody has proven to be a valuable team member—supporting local chapters, strengthening engagement, and fostering a collaborative spirit throughout the organization. Her strategic thinking and deep compassion make her an incredible asset as we move forward with our goals.

VIVID is a bold, unapologetic movement dedicated to LGBTQIA+ political mobilization, crisis protection, and holding power accountable. We do not operate like traditional nonprofits that focus solely on awareness—we are an action-based force dedicated to real, measurable change. Our mission is clear: train and empower young LGBTQIA+ leaders to run for office, organize voter registration drives, build real-time protection networks for those in danger, and expose corporations, schools, and institutions that fail our community. We are here to defend, mobilize, and enforce progress.

We are honored to welcome Melody to the board and look forward to her continued leadership and vision.
