Jazmine Gracia

I’m a master’s student in English and American Literature at the University of Texas at El Paso, in servitude of creativity and expression—albeit through words or crafting. I have a deep love for romance novels and the way they capture emotion and connection; it’s a love I hope to share with others. I find the utmost joy in conversations that segue into unpredictable topic territory, and I love spontaneously starting a crafting project—building miniatures or molding clay. I find joy in all avenues of expression.
