""My mom is CFO at GitLab and has worked in finance for Deloitte, Salesforce and others. My younger brother pursued music, so I figured there could only be one 'creative' in the family.""
""I identified with my mother and pressured myself to go into the finance, corporate field. My grandmother grew up in Compton and was the oldest of seven children. She had to take care of her siblings, and Nana's still the family caretaker today.""
Jasmine Ross, a 22-year-old artist from Oakland, is the youngest recipient of the Museum of the African Diaspora's Emerging Artists Program. She, along with three other artists, will receive a $10,000 award and professional development support. Ross's exhibit, "Beauty Plus," features her fine art documentary photography focused on a closed Black-owned beauty supply store in New Haven, Connecticut. The exhibit opened on March 18 and will be on display until May 31. Ross's artistic journey began during her studies at Yale College, where she pursued a B.A. in ethics, politics, economics, and art.
