About Me


Hello family! I am an aspiring writer and brown fly girl residing on the South side. I love rap music, reading, dancing, poetry, documentaries, laughing, grilled fruit and sunshine. Not so much into the MN winters, my blood comes from Jamaica and loves heat, but MN is my beautiful home.
I finished working at an after school program with a crew of wonderful inspiring group of girls. We work to build confidence in young women and help them recognize their potential as powerful leaders in their communities! Go ahead then, ladies!
I NEED to take the damn GRE! Want to study? Could be fun. If you have any pointers, send them my way.
My apartment just got the internet, that's right, I'm coming after you 2008. Make sure to check out my blog at ginnup.com .
Lets get together and cook! My specialties are ackee and saltfish, fried dumplings, rice and peas, salsa, and red snapper and I make a mean almond ice cream.
Here is a haiku inspired by Brandon Lacy Campos written by me
One job is now done
The summer awaits for me
Lets spend time outside
