Her family moved to Sacramento, California after she was born, and stayed there during her early adolescent years before moving back to OKC. She is an advocate for mental health, prison reform, and marginalized voices. Combining her dedication to these social issues with her passion for fictional storytelling, Jasmine strives to create a safe space for the voiceless. An avid reader, she always found herself chasing "that one story." When she couldn't find that story, she decided she'd write it herself, and that passion turned into an ambition to become an author. Jasmine writes stories about young people who find happiness at the most inconvenient of times. She finds inspiration for her stories through traveling, reading, and personal experiences. She graduated from Southern New Hampshire University with a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing and English, specializing in Fiction Writing.view less
