Green Eyed Mammi aka GEM was raised between Long Island, NY and Minneapolis, MN. Two very different places, cultures, and people, GEM got the best of both worlds. "My mother is German and my father is Black and Rican. Although I didn't grow up in a Latin country, I was around the New York Latin community that made me an official Newyorican. LOL." Exotic beauty, brains, and a cunning sense of humor, GEM is taking the modeling world by storm, but it has not all been easy. Being of Puerto Rican, African American, and German decent, and not necessarily looking completely like one of the three, GEM has had to change the outlook of what she is supposed to be. "I have wanted to be a model since I was five years old. I like to express myself through pretty pictures. I also want to put a different out look of what a model is supposed to be".
