MP combines the two names of our founder: Melissa and Pookie. 

In the classroom and in business meetings, she goes by her real name: Melissa. When out with friends or on the dance floor, she is known by her childhood nickname: Pookie. She is the queen of balancing and celebrating multiple elements of her personality, and she has worked that into the ethos of MP Athletics.

Growing up as a dancer, taught Melissa that athletic women are power houses, who are way more than just their sport or craft. She learned that whether you are perfecting your latest dance routine or running errands to throw a to die for theme party, you need to look good while doing it. This is why all of MP Athletic’s pieces are classic, fierce, and all black.
