Check Out Jasmine Amoh’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jasmine Amoh.

Hi Jasmine, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I believe passion and purpose have a way of ringing throughout our lives. Ultimately it’s up to us to decide if we’ll ever answer the call. When I set out to attend Howard University I wanted to major in Fine Arts but I believed my parents would disapprove or question my game plan that I hadn’t quite flushed out as a 17 year old first generation college student/graduate at the time. So, I thought majoring in broadcast journalism would be an acceptable approach. My only plan was to continue in the field if it was a fit or change my major later if it wasn’t. However, my parents knew what I had to learn. That journalism requires at the very least just as much passion, rigor and sacrifice as acting or any other serious passion. After some parental intervention I changed my major to something else that I also thoroughly enjoyed, speech-language pathology.

Fast forward to present day. I had a family member become very ill and required my expertise as speech-language pathologist as well as caregiver. I will say that caregiver burnout is real! However, I’m blessed to have a community who rallied and urged me to re-explore my passions and take up new hobbies as a form of self – care. And there it was— my burning desire to act and create rearing its head. I debated if taking classes would fit into my budget. However, I decided that life is too short and factored classes into my budget as a necessity. I started training with Monique Mosee’ King at Entertainer’s Life Bootcamp (ELBC) in which I’m still actively doing scene study and ongoing training. The past 3 and a 1/2 years have been every bit of worth me answering that call.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It hasn’t been completely smooth. Not long after my start the union strike did occur and later the 2025 LA fires. All coupled with debates about AI and likeness.

There have been periods and personal matters that have required me to pivot and pause audition opportunities in the past. However, I count it all apart of the journey with no signs of stopping.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
Personally, I’d like think to that I’m light hearted. I specialize in commercial and theatrical work. However, I’ve been most known for my theatrical and dramatic performances. I have had opportunities on daytime television, some commercial and industrial work, narration/voiceover, as well as film festival winning short films. I also wrote a short script of my own that I had filmed.

If I had to pick a thing that I am most proud of it would be my growth. I went from performing monologues in front of a muted poster board because I had no booked experience. To working on major productions. In a world where comparison is a thief. I believe what sets me apart is staying true to who I am and my willingness to be flexible in thinking. I believe we’ve been moving further away from that and becoming too rigid as a society with no room for wonder. I still allow myself that.

Can you talk to us a bit about the role of luck?
I’d say this journey has felt more like divine alignment. But if I must say, luck has come by just being in the rooms. I’ve had opportunities that came when I least expected it from networking and putting myself out there in both conventional and unconventional ways.
