"Unda mi nose" is a popular Jamaican phrase and was the last place expected to find love, or anything else for that matter. And so she lived her life searching in all wrong places often ending up hurt, lost and alone. Ten years later and scarred with tons of physical and mental baggage she winds up right where she started. Like all the other roads she had trodden her body was saying yes and her head was cautioning her to be careful.

Question is: Is she prepared to look unda her nose and if and when she does will she keep it unda her nose?

Mimsie Mendez grew up in "" a small farming community named after her great grandparents and known for its "yellow yams". The small community is located in in a parish widely known as the "Cockpit Country" due to its hilly terrain and tall mountains. Very early in her life she started reading often using a kerosene lamp she likes to say and has continued since. Her very first books were her mother's "Mills and Boons" romance novels. She would hide under the bed for hours and read them without her mother's knowledge. She was known for making up stories and not long after she started writing them.

Growing up in the church it wasn't unusual for her to woo people with her plays, poetry and songs of inspiration. Her first publication was for her school yearbook in her senior year of high school. She then migrated to where she started freelancing for various local newspapers and radio stations including "The Gleaner" and "Irie FM".

Today she lives in a suburban town and is studying for her master's degree. She hopes to be the first female Prime Minister in her homeland and hopes to return there someday.
