A Conversation with Actress Jasmin Savoy Brown

The Berkeley Forum's conversation with Jasmin Savoy Brown invites audiences to explore the intersection of art, identity, and impact with one of today’s most dynamic actors. From her breakout roles in Showtime’s Yellowjackets and the Scream franchise to her pioneering voice work in Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Jasmin has redefined what it means to bring authenticity to the screen. Beyond acting, she is a creator and advocate whose projects (like her podcast Today in Gay) center queer and BIPOC stories often sidelined in mainstream media.

In this conversation, Jasmin will reflect on her journey from small-town Oregon theater to Hollywood sets, discussing the challenges and triumphs of navigating an industry still grappling with representation. She will share insights into how personal identity shapes creative choices, how storytelling can be a tool for social change, and why breaking the script matters for the next generation of artists and audiences alike.
