JASMINE IS A STAR

By Jo Rochelle

A determined sixteen-year-old with albinism (lack of pigment in the hair, skin, and eyes) makes it her mission to become a professional model in her hometown of Minneapolis, while attempting to go unnoticed in every other aspect of her teenage life. Against the backdrop of fall in the Twin Cities, Jasmine explores what independence looks like for someone like her, and more importantly, what self-acceptance looks like.
