Happy Birthday to my partner in poetry, purpose, and building what didn’t exist until we decided it should. We were just doing poems outside of APS now look at us.

Jasmine Games you make the room bigger, the work sharper, and the dream braver. I’m grateful to build The Poet House and every.Word with you. More stages, more freedom, more magic. Happy birthday,Sis. 🖤✨
