My name is Grace Melia. But you can call me Grace or Gesi, for short. I’m a mom with two kids, a 6 yo daughter and a 2,5 yo son. My daughter is having her special needs caused by Congenital Rubella Syndrome, which led me make a support group called Rumah Ramah Rubella in 2013.

I majored in English Literature at Sanata Dharma University in 2011. At this moment, I’m a stay at home mom. Aside from duties as a mother, I consistently blog on www.gracemelia.com whether it’s organic posts or sponsored ones. I blog about family, marriage, health, or just light and daily stories. So far I’ve written 2 books: Letters to Aubrey (Kumpulan Surat Seorang Ibu Untuk Anaknya Yang Berkebutuhan Khusus Karena Rubella), 2014 and Susahnya Jadi Ibu, 2018, also several anthologies.

Sometimes I also participate in parenting / health seminars and blogging workshop as a speaker.

I currently live in Yogyakarta and travel back and forth to Jakarta once or twice a month.
