Mel Wymore has lived three different lives on the Upper West Side.

This month, Wymore, who has been a neighborhood resident for 22 years, assumed the position of Community Board 7 chair. Reflecting recently on her life in the city, she said that the Upper West Side has grounded her in two major identity transformations—both of which have helped her create a sense of self.

Wymore has gone from being married with two children to being an open lesbian, and is now in the midst of a transgender transformation. She said that through these transitions, she has always had her family and the neighborhood as a dependable backbone.
