You guys… I think I just LEVELED UP 😳

I’m honestly shocked at what I’ve accomplished over the last week… in FEBRUARY no less!!

First I put together a Valentine’s Day pop up at (that wasn’t as successful as I would have liked, but I learned so much) and I’m just stoked to have played with color and flowers in the dead of winter, no matter the outcome. Plus it connected me with people during my reclusive season which I sorely needed…

And then, against all odds, I made 2 reels with my face in them! I’ve literally been terrified of that for years. Terrified. But I just did it. I didn’t let myself overthink it, I just recorded and put it out there. And then, to my surprise, the world didn’t end?!

Instead, y’all loved it…and now I’m an internet-celebrity-influencer-public-figure and I can’t be stopped so really that’s on you. You’ve created a monster with your kind comments 🤓

This last bit is where things get real crazy…

Saturday night, after a full day natural dye workshop with my bestie at .ship (an activity that would have normally emptied my social battery) I told a story led by about my painful entry into puberty.

LIVE ON STAGE at 🫣 😜🫠

And, once again, the world didn’t end! I didn’t spontaneously combust! By all accounts I rocked it! I was WAY more comfortable on stage than I thought I would be and the crowd was so supportive I felt like a fu***ng rock star.

I still can’t believe I did that and it went as well as it did.

I’m not sure what to make of it all, but it appears there has been an internal cosmic shift. Maybe I’ll write a romance novel next week! I’m just checking s**t off the “things I’d love to do that terrify me” list so anything is possible at this point 😂

Anyway I still don’t love being photographed so here’s a retro photo of Mariah and I on my 27th b-day (which feels like yesterday) because even if I don’t look exactly like this anymore, this is how I feel 🥰

PS: scroll through for some even older photos of the girl previously known as Jasmine Bowman and check my stories for BTS of the natural dye class ✨

Pretty sure I just LEVELED UP you guys 😎

I’m honestly shocked at what I’ve accomplished the past few days… in FEBRUARY, you guys!!

I put together a Valentine’s Day pop up at that wasn’t as successful as I would have liked, BUT I learned so much, and I’m just stoked to have played with color and flowers in the dead of winter, no matter the outcome. Plus it connected me with people during my reclusive season which I sorely needed.

And then against all odds I made two reels with my face in them! I’ve literally been terrified of that for years. Terrified.

But I just did it. I didn’t let myself overthink it, I just recorded it and put it out there.

And then, to my surprise, the world didn’t end?!

Instead, y’all loved it…and now I’m an internet-celebrity-influencer-public-figure and I can’t be stopped so really that’s on you. You’ve created a monster with your kind comments.

And then ya know what I did next?

I told a story about my painful entry into puberty ON A STAGE 😳 In front of a crowd of people 🫣

And once again, the world didn’t end! I didn’t spontaneously combust! By all accounts I rocked it! I was WAY more comfortable on stage than I thought I would be and the crowd was so supportive I felt like a fu***ng rock star.

I’m not making this up. This actually happened 😜

I’m kind of just reeling at the moment. Like, who is she?!

I’m not sure what to make of it all, but it appears there has been an internal cosmic shift. Maybe I’ll write a romance novel next week! I’m just checking s**t off the “things I’d love to do that terrify me” list so anything is possible at this point 😂

Anyway I still don’t love being photographed and filmed so you’ll have to settle for this epic cowgirl-disco photo by because it captures the spirit of what I’m feeling 💖🪩 even if it isn’t me 😘

If you’ve made it this far, you’re probably curious what I looked like in my teenage years now that I’ve talked about it on stage, so head on over to my stories for a peek at Teen Jazz 😂

REAL TALK: I seems like very few of you are seeing my posts and I don’t know what else I can do 😣

I’m a small flower business trying to sell bouquets for Valentines Day and it feels like Instagram is deliberately hiding my reels - that’s right, REELS.

I’ve spent literal hours putting together these reels because they say I have to, and less then 20 of you appear to be seeing it. I’m so damn frustrated.

Please show some love in the comments and share my previous reels (where all the good bouquet related info lives) to anyone who might be in need of a valentines bouquet 🙏🏼

PS: I feel like a hyperactive child doing cartwheels at a family gathering like “Mom! Dad! Look at me! Look what I can do, I’m here! I exist!” … but desperate times 🤝 desperate measures.

REAL TALK: I’m struggling to figure out what my relationship with this app should be. The way I see it, I go one of 2 ways:

1. Calculated content released at peak activity times to maximize the algorithm. Basically treat this like a portfolio and remove my heart and soul from the equation. Uncomplicated.

2. Post whenever the f**k I want, with honest captions that don’t shy away from all the gray areas. More of a portrait than a portfolio; messy and beautiful; sad and joyous. Complicated.

I’m honestly not sure I can find a happy medium. I’ve been trying for years and these two things have become more and more disparate as the algorithm has evolved into something that fills me with sadness and rage.

I WANT this to feel like a community. I want to be inspired her, to inspire others and build something that feels authentic. And I honestly don’t know how to do that while being calculated and strategic. Maybe other people can, but it is making me physically ill trying to thread that needle.

Choosing either will feel like a relief.

My head says no. 1 and my heart says no. 2.

I know that if I choose 2 I probably won’t reach many of you because I won’t be playing by the rules of the algorithm.

If I choose 1 I’ll reach more of you… but to what end?
Profit, I suppose.

The thing they don’t tell you about monetizing your creativity is that it will require things of you that are in direct opposition to creative living. You will be forced to shape shift into something your creativity was not built to support, and it will suffer as a result. It will start to hollow out if you aren’t careful.

And the thing about me is: my relationship to creativity is everything to me. I’m nothing without it. It’s the anchor that has kept me rooted in my existence & a lifeboat that saves me from spiraling out in times of disparity.

This is my 10th year working for myself as a professional creative & business owner and I cannot continue on, alone in this. I do not want to abuse my creativity the name of capitalism.

I need some words of wisdom. I need honesty. I need a business partner with an aptitude for numbers and strategy so I can focus on what I’m here for.

Send help.
