Despite living in the lushness of Northern California at the same time, I didn't meet Jasmine until fate had her knocking at my (literal) Loft door. I was struck by her poise, passion, and genuine appreciation for the world; the more I learned about her, the more captivated I became. She's a perfect woman to start our series with. - xx Linda
