Yo soy Melania.

I’m a first-generation American Two-Time Audie Award Winning Author, Educator, Speaker and Poet with a New York Public Library Card and Big Dreams.

A Few Facts About Me:

I grew up in Baruch Housing on the Lower East Side of New York City.
By the age of ten, I had my first profitable business selling batata (purple sweet potato) ice cream out of my grandmother’s Caribbean kitchen during the summers.
My favorite girl groups are Destiny’s Child and 3LW.

It’s scrapbook time
