In 1984 children worldwide were introduced to an amazing character named: She-Ra Princess of Power. Little did I know how much of an effect this cartoon and the voice behind her would have on myself and my big brother Marc…He especially loved the strength and beauty of She-Ra as well as her wonderful voice that brought her character to life…

In 1996 at the age of 22, Marc was diagnosed with a very rare liver cancer…During his illness, watching the show would give him joy and comfort. We would sit together and smile…

In October of 2003, Marc was taken to hospice…I brought his original She-Ra action figure that I remember buying with him at Toys r’ Us to keep by his side. Many times, I placed it in his hand to give him strength and comfort.

On October 25th 2003, Marc passed at age 30…Marc never got to meet Melendy.

However, in 2011 the first Power-Con convention was to be held and to my wonderful surprise, Melendy Britt was to attend. I absolutely had to be there to meet Melendy and tell her how much she meant to Marc and I. I wore a button I had made with Marc’s picture and brought 2 animation cells for her to sign and Marc’s original She-Ra doll. As I explained Marc’s story to her and showed her his picture, I could see how moved she was. It warmed my heart. I then asked if she would kindly hold the doll Marc had held as he passed. She graciously did. She also signed my cells and personalized one to Marc with love. It was a beautiful moment I will never forget.

In 2015, I was able to meet Melendy again in Hollywood for the He-man and She-Ra day. She remembered me as soon as I saw her and told me that she has told the story of Marc so many times to people. I was very touched. She then signed my Catra cell which I love.

Finally in 2016 at the annual Power-Con, I said hello to Melendy again and all I can do when I see her and hear her voice is smile. I hugged her over and over and told her how much we love her… I can’t thank you enough for the joy you have brought Marc and I and so many others around the world. Love always, Marc and Erin.
“For the honor of Grayskull!”

 

There is no way I could ever forget you and Marc. I love you too.

Melendy

“For the Honor of Grayskull”.

I’m one of your biggest fans! I would want to be you when I grow up. Sometimes I like dreaming of She-Ra saying “hi” to me.

Hi Frances,

I’ll bet SheRa is talking to you saying “hi”, and “You Have the Power!” – “cause you do!

S.S. sent us this story:

There was a She-Ra cartoon where She-Ra and He-Man discussed sexual exploitation at the end of the program and encouraged children to tell parents or trusted adults if anyone touched them in a way they didn’t like. My daughter has been in therapy for sexual abuse and had been afraid to tell us about it or who the perpetrator was. As a result of that show, our daughter was able to be more open to our questions. Having her heroine say the same things we have been telling her has made such an impression on her.
Sincerely…

She-Ra was my favorite cartoon as a kid. When I was 17, I joined the army. I was painfully shy, had never been good at sports or anything.But in basic training, right off the bat, the top athletic people on my platoon were struggling, and it didn’t take long for people to turn their attention on me. They were cheering for me, and calling ME She-Ra!! At the end of basic training, I had everyone sign the back of my platoon photo, and many wrote She-Ra on it and said how I kicked butt on the course. She-Ra was my hero and it was like I actually got to feel like her for one day. So you see, you’ve been a big part of my childhood and one of the best days of my life. Thanks so much.

— Stacy B., South Dakota

Stacy—Always remember that there’s a SheRa in you whenever you need her! Thank you for telling me about how she affected you.
