about
Hello! My name is Jasmine and I’m a writer/ multimedia storyteller currently based in Northern California. As a journalist, I work at the intersection of identity politics, social justice, culture, and climate resilience.
As for creative writing, I’ve written fiction, poetry, and personal essays. Although my writing can range from light and fun to more analytical and critical, my goal is that my words have an impact on those they reach, including myself as I write them.
My work has appeared in a number of publications including The Bold Italic, KneeDeepTimes, Essence, Atmos, Ebony Tomatoes Collective, and others; in addition, my feature writing has been recognized by the Hearst Journalism Awards.
My intention for this site is for it to be a safe space for my words and ideas as I grow as both a writer and human being. Enjoy! :)
