Show Notes

Since the age of four, artist and activist Jasmine Davis was very clear about who she was, yet she felt burdened by the weight of other people’s prejudice, expectations and projections onto her, and she had to constantly navigate this lack of acceptance and understanding everywhere in her world—from church, to school, to even within her own family. Finally successful in her self definition and in harmony with the people in her life and work, now Jasmine honestly and openly recounts her path to get there: the unexpected people from whom she found acceptance and guidance, the vices she clung to for survival, and even the times she knows she simply got in her own way. With a wise lens she reflects on her journey to developing healing, healthy relationships with others and with herself.
