Biography
Jasmin Savoy Brown brings a compelling, grounded intensity to every role she inhabits. Hailing from Oregon, she built a foundation in theater and television guest spots before landing two parts that would define her early career. As the young Taissa Turner in Showtime's 'Yellowjackets,' she masterfully portrays the simmering ambition and buried trauma of a teen soccer star turned survivalist. Simultaneously, she joined the revived 'Scream' franchise as Mindy Meeks-Martin, the horror-savvy film nerd who serves as the series' witty, rule-explaining heart. Brown's skill lies in making these often heightened, genre-driven characters feel authentically human, balancing vulnerability with formidable strength. Off-screen, she is an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and mental health awareness, bringing the same thoughtfulness to her public voice as she does to her craft.
Millennials
1981–1996
The first digital natives. Grew up with the internet, came of age during 9/11 and the 2008 crash. Highly educated, deeply indebted, slower to marry and buy houses. Redefined work, identity, and what it means to be an adult.
Jasmin was born in 1994, placing them squarely in the Millennials. The events that shaped this generation — the internet revolution, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
