Marlene Marte

I am a student at the City College of New York. I have a passion for Hip-Hop, fashion, and the communications industry. I was born and raised in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. I attended Fashion Industries high school, a selective, portfolio-based admissions school with a 1,7000+ population in the Chelsea area. I strongly believe living and learning in such a large and lively city has been my biggest blessing in life. 21 years in Manhattan bred my go-getter mentality and sanctioned my City Girl way of life. I am Latina. I come from a large family, 10 siblings total. I was raised by Superwomen which I call mom. Loyalty, compromise, commitment, hard work, patience and values are all I know.
