What happens when life takes you away from your passion — and you find your way back? 🎬
Meet Jasmine Amoh, a Los Angeles-based actress, writer, and former speech-language pathologist who has taken an inspiring, unexpected path through healthcare, caregiving, and the entertainment industry.
In this episode, I reconnect with Jasmine, who played the lovely Lulu in my brother Arnold Setiadi’s award-winning film, Something Good Going On! We talk about our time together on set, the chemistry we built as scene partners, and the excitement of seeing the film surpass 60,000 YouTube views.
But Jasmine’s story goes far beyond the screen.
A first-generation college student, Jasmine entered Howard University at just 17. Though her creative passions initially pulled her toward the arts, she pursued communication sciences and built a career in speech-language pathology. When a family member became seriously ill, her professional skills took on a deeply personal meaning as she stepped into the role of caregiver.
We talk about family, caregiving, burnout, navigating unexpected life changes, and finding your way back to the passions that make you feel most like yourself.
Jasmine also shares her journey as an actress, writer, and storyteller, with credits spanning independent films, television, and commercials. From developing her craft to working on projects like Unexpected Ties, 6 (SOLD OUT), Big Girls Wanted: Escaping Pearadise, and Something Good Going On, her story reflects the courage it takes to keep creating and pursuing new possibilities.
This is a conversation about identity, family, creativity, resilience, and embracing the twists and turns that shape who we become.
Sometimes the path that takes you away from your passion also helps you rediscover why you loved it in the first place.
