A very special happy birthday to my brother, friend, mentor, coach, and colleague, Hatch (). Knowing you changed my life and so many others. Thank you for all the love you have shared. For being a champion of spoken word poetry in Austin and beyond. For inviting all of us young and old poets into your life and being generous with our craft. For never keeping your cards close and always being a good sport. For giving us every.Word. The Poet House. For seeing other people’s light and encouraging them to bring that fire. You never give up and you steer our delusion dream chasing. And you’re a gotdamn good poet. I am forever grateful for you. Happy birthday! 💗✨

I like these photos because I look weird lol 🤓

Happy National Poetry Month y’all! I hope to see your faces tomorrow. This will probably be the last every.Word Open Mic I host for a good little bit. I’m making space for other poets to shine, focusing on building The Poet House infrastructure/operations, planning for 2027, and supporting the Courageous Cadence youth.

Most importantly, I’m making my mental and developmental health a priority as I have been in the process of working a new job, mending relationships where possible, going to therapy, and getting an AuDHD diagnosis.

Oh and I’ve changed my pronouns to she/they. I’m non-binary. I’m pansexual. Always have been. I just make time and space for myself to name myself. Not a huge fan of labels (I’m just Jasmine), but I understand their use in this world. I don’t like negotiating my gender and sexuality so I’ll be taking positive affirmations only. 😌✨

I’m still outside! I’m definitely still taking gigs and making appearances! I just want to be an everyday community member, showing up, popping out, and meeting new people. 😇✨

And if you made it this far you should know I’m finalizing my poetry manuscript, Something In Me About the Ground, for a big publication push. This would be my second book! Send me all the opportunities! I plan to make some really fun art with this one.

I’ve got grown woman dreams and I’m doing everything I can to actualize them. Much love always. 💗✨

I’m writing. I’m writing when no one knows I’m writing. And I’m dreaming. I’m dreaming of a time where the only thing I do is write. Write more than I speak. And the only way one could know me is if they were willing to read.

My very first year in Austin, I was working as an English tutor for Literacy First () at Brooke Elementary, teaching K-2nd graders how to read. At Tomorrow’s Promise Foundation’s () Behind the Bars Panel, I ran into Ms. Fowler and her son Javon. Y’all Javon was one of my students and my very best reader 😭🥹💗✨ He was my favorite student and now he’s in the 8th grade! Time flies I can’t believe I’m getting old. 😵‍💫💗✨
