About a month ago we told you about Garden Court Condo’s “I Love Detroit” Contest winner Brandi K and her winning rap video. Well, starting this week you can follow Brandi’s year-long adventure at MyYearInDetroit.com.

Brandi On Why She Loves Detroit:

“I am insanely in love with Detroit for a myriad of reasons, but mostly, I love that Detroit is genuine. You may ask, “what would someone who wears belligerently huge afro wigs know about being genuine?” Well, to me, genuine means being honest about who you are and what you have to offer. I’m an afro wearing, art student who has never shaved her legs and loves walking down Woodward and hugging strangers.”

We couldn’t agree more. You can view Brandi’s first vlog (video blog) post after the jump.
