AceShowbiz - Spice Girls singer Melanie Brown, 49, is set to receive an honorary doctorate in recognition of her tireless work with survivors of domestic abuse. As patron of the charity Women's Aid, Mel B has raised awareness and provided unwavering support for victims.

In addition to the doctorate, Mel B has also been pursuing qualifications in trauma care. "I always understood abuse on an emotional level," she said. "But now I have the theory, knowledge, and terminology to help more."

The honorary degree will be presented at a ceremony later this month, where Mel B hopes to attend in a graduation gown lined with her trademark leopard print. She has shared her plans to continue her advocacy work and support for domestic abuse survivors.

Leeds Beckett University Vice Chancellor Professor Peter Slee praised Mel B's dedication. Peter stated, "As a child of this city who reached the top of her industry and used her platform to advocate for those with similar hardships, Melanie is the type of citizen we are proud to honor."

Mel B's journey as a domestic abuse survivor has inspired her to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others. She has openly discussed her own experiences, raising awareness and encouraging survivors to seek help. Her upcoming doctorate and qualification in trauma care will empower her to continue her mission with greater knowledge and expertise.
