Jazmen Darnell Brown- TV Writer For OWN's Ambitions Talks About His Journey In The Industry

At the impressionable age of eight, Jazmen set his sights on one of the  most coveted and rewarding jobs in the universe - becoming a Power  Ranger. However, once he discovered the skittle-colored crew of  intergalactic crime fighters were nothing more than a half-baked idea  from an acid-tripping Japanese comic book artist, Jazmen thought, "I  could do that too," and switched his focus to writing. Influenced by his mother's life as a foster child, as well as his  experiences mentoring Undocumented Refugee Minors, Jazmen's stories  often center around outsiders looking for a place to belong. After graduating from Florida State University, he was hired to write  the script for "The Citizen,” the story of a Middle Eastern immigrant  who arrives in New York City the day before the September 11th attacks.  In 2013, the feature film was released theatrically across the United  States, Middle East, and online through Netflix and Amazon streaming. His TV credits include the hit Bounce TV series “Saints & Sinners,”  and B.E.T.’s HBCU drama “The Quad,” as well sitcoms “Family Time” and  “In The Cut.” He’s currently a staff writer on the #1 show for black  women on Tuesday nights, “Ambitions,” a juicy night-time soap for O.W.N.  (Oprah Winfrey Network) starring Robin Givens.
