An NYU graduate school alum, Yasmine’s interest in writing high-concept is informed by her upbringing and exposure to mystical elements. Her grandfather was a Taino Shaman and taught her the ways of natural healing. On the other hand, her father was a drug lord and the head of a notorious gang in New York City. Her early exposure to mysticism and the hardened street culture informs her writing and colors her worlds with radical, never-seen characters and wild plots. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Comparative Literature from Cedar Crest College in Allentown,PA. It is a private, all women’s college where she met the late, poet and activist, Maya Angelou and Nobel Laurate, holocaust survivor, Eli Wiesel.
