Melissa Wirt is a writer, entrepreneur, and mom of six. She’s the founder of Latched Mama, a beloved apparel brand and community that supports mothers with functional, beautiful clothing—and supports working moms through progressive policies like paid postpartum leave, baby-at-work options, and flexible scheduling. Her work and advocacy have been featured by CBS, NPR, The New York Times, and more. Her debut book, I Was Told There’d Be a Village, is a heartfelt and humorous invitation for moms to stop going it alone. Part love letter, part memior, and part practical guide, it offers comfort, camaraderie, and a path toward building the community every mom deserves. When she’s not writing, running a business, or wrangling six kids, Melissa loves long solo Target trips, iced coffee in all seasons, and getting outside—preferably near water.
