Axel sits down with Jasmine Minchez Lopez, a first-gen poet who turned her story into art. They talk about growing up between cultures, discovering poetry as a way to heal, and finding power in spaces like Get Lit. From family reactions to building her own path, Jasmine opens up about identity, courage, and the magic of using your voice when the world doesn’t expect you to. It’s honest, soulful, and a reminder that your story, exactly as it is, is worth telling.
