Jasmine is a desert native - born in Indio and
raised in Wonder Valley. With neighbors far apart, Jasmine grew up
playing in the desert with her sisters, finding abandoned
homesteads and playing hopscotch on their concrete pads. With
a high school graduating class of just over 100, Jasmine credits
social media with her ability to track down or stay in touch with
some of her fellow classmates who floated in and out of the school
due to a parent in the military. In this episode, Jasmine
talks about the many changes she has seen growing up here, from a
growth in population, to road improvements and retail offerings.
Jasmine says there were times growing up when she wished she lived
in an area with more 'fun', but looks back now, grateful her
parents chose to make their family home in Wonder Valley, instead
of Orange County. An admittedly shy kid, Jasmine speaks about
following her sister into community theater and how she feels it
has changed her. Jasmine is active in theaters in the
Hi-Desert and 'down the hill', in Palm Springs.
