edit data

Texas-born Ginger Ciminello is a passionate writer and speaker who communicates through storytelling and dramatic narrative. Her awkward middle-school phase lasted almost ten years, allowing her to connect with audiences in a humorous and personal way. Ginger holds a deep desire to reach her audiences and encourage them to laugh, learn from her mistakes, and look up to the heavenly Father. Her own story contains embarrassing moments, a two-year bout with an eating disorder, being abandoned at the prom, and finally finding contentment in knowing who God has made her to be.
