ABLE Voices Ep 61: Cashmere Jasmine

We are inviting disabled artists and arts educators to be guests and  guest hosts on ABLE Voices. Today's guest host is Jeremy Andrew Davis.  Jeremy Andrew Davis is a multi-hyphenate writer and film director,  disability activist and representation consultant, entrepreneur, and  social media content creator. Davis’s mission is to transform disability  representation, shaping the cultures of tomorrow through the stories  told today. He works to create and educate through nuance, weaving humor  and joy through the sharing of adversities people with disabilities  face. Today Jeremy will be speaking with Cashmere Jasmine.  Cashmere Jasmine is a first-generation disabled Afro-Caribbean writer  and director from South Florida. She crafts genre-bending media that  revolve around taboos and the complexities of identity seen through  lenses of class, race, sexuality, and even criminality; deconstructing  perceptions with her real-life experiences with dark humor featuring  Antiheros that you’ll love to hate. Cashmere continues to imagine new  ways to tell disability-inclusive stories and continues to represent  those perspectives in the writer’s room. She has recently completed the  Disney Launchpad program and directed a short film that will be released  on Disney+ Summer of 2023.  The ABLE Voices podcast is produced and edited by BIAAE Operations  Coordinator, Daniel Martinez del Campo. The introduction music was  written by Kai Levin and the ending song was written by Sebastian  Batista. Kai and Sebastian are students in the Arts Education Programs  at the Berklee Institute for Accessible Arts Education.  For more information about our programs visit us at  https://college.berklee.edu/BIAAE  Follow us for more weekly updates at: Instagram: @BIAAE Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BIAAE
