Jasmin Savoy Brown Is The Only One Who Refuses To Be The Only One In The Room Episode 49
06/16/20 • 61 min
1 Listener
Here’s a story of a lovely, mixed raced lady who grew up looking for spaces where she didn’t always stand out - places where she might not have to be - the only one in the room.
When Actress/musician, Jasmin Savoy Brown moved from Oregon to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career, she was dismayed to find that once again, more often than not, she was the only person of color on her film and TV sets or at the industry parties she was invited to attend.
What would you do if one day you’d had enough? If you decided that you weren’t going to even ONE MORE event where you’d be the only person of color? Would you discreetly decline invitations where you’d be the only POC in the room? Or would you post your intentions on Instagram, putting the world on notice that you’d rather pass on the invite than show up and be the token “other”?
