EP 021| Jasmine Walker and Ashli Patrice, Creators of Can We B Great

Everything starts out as an idea. Several months ago, my guests today, Jasmine Walker and Ashli Patrice, met and became friends, bonding over the idea of a web series that captures what everyday life in San Francisco looks like when you are trying to make your way in the world. That series quickly turned into "Can We B Great," a story of two young people looking to make their dreams come to fruition in San Francisco.
