Hi, I’m Jazmine. I am a writer, editor and professor.

I write about people — celebrities, civilians and, of course, myself — for magazines. I spend a lot of time thinking about social codes and interpersonal relationships and cultural pull and why we like the things that we like. (I was homeschooled until the fifth grade and I’ve been trying to make up for it ever since.)

When Fran Lebowitz retires from being New York’s Public Speaker, I’d like to throw my hat in the ring. I’ve moderated panels and hosted events for the Tribeca Film Festival, American Express, Netflix, the New York Times and the Martha’s Vineyard African-American Film Festival, among others. I have served as a part-time lecturer in journalism at Cornell University and The New School. Currently, I am a writer in residence at NIKE.

From 2015 to 2023, I served my country as a member of the editorial staff of the New York Times. I began as an editor but left as a writer, mostly doing profiles on people like Lil Nas X, Whoopi Goldberg, Danny DeVito, Viola Davis and Judge Judy. For my work there, I received two National Magazine Awards and an award from the National Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists.

I am represented by Mollie Glick and Abby Walters at CAA. I split my time between Brooklyn, NY, and Oaxaca, Mexico, so, yes, I am willing to be paid in Aeromexico points.
