Author. Educator. Storyteller.
Jazzmine Zabriel is an educator, author, and creative whose work lives at the intersection of memory, dialect, culture, and becoming. From the author, readers can expect multi-genre work that includes recipes, memoir, short stories, poems, and essays, grounded in historical context, personal memory, and Afrofuturist storytelling.
My writing is shaped by travel, a deep love for language, and a belief that stories are both survival tools and sites of joy. My published work serve as archives—of family, of Black girlhood/ womanhood and of movement across place and time.
My forthcoming book, Translation in Motion, is a multi-genre collection that moves through poems, short stories, and embodied memories—tracing how meaning shifts across generations, landscapes, and inner worlds. It is a meditation on lineage, listening, and transformation, and it marks the beginning of a larger body of work. More books, projects, and creative explorations are already on the way. This site serves as a home for what has been written, what is still unfolding, and what is yet to arrive.
