A Conversation With Poet Jasmine Mans

 

Poet Jasmine Mans caused a stir when a video of her performing her poem “Footnotes for Kanye” went viral on YouTube. Since then, she’s built a big following through live performances and is being featured in national ad campaigns for Ulta Beauty and Secret.

Mans' new book, "Black Girl, Call Home" is inspired and informed by her own life and offers important perspective on the world we live in. Idaho Matters spoke with the poet to hear more.
