star Jessica Marie Garcia is big on connection — whether she’s meeting someone IRL, delivering a performance through their TV screen, or meeting via the small computer portal known as Zoom., the ephemera of her home just out of view on the screen. “I like making people feel comfortable.” The teenage version of Jessica — who was “struggling” and “would say the joke before she was it,” the actor notes now — didn’t often know how to cope when other people were uncomfortable.
It was a diagnosis that the show’s creators agreed with, and as the show progresses, the viewer learns more about what exists behind Jasmine's outgoing facade. That includes caring for her father, a disabled veteran who served in Afghanistan, and bigger dreams to get out of the fictional Freeridge, California, and attend the University of California at Berkeley.
Sierra agrees. “Me and Jess, that’s my sister in real life, so it wasn’t too hard to pull from any particular place because we’re so close on- and off-screen,” she tellsabout growing Monse and Jasmine’s friendship through each episode. “It honestly never feels like work when we’re together.” In season four, Monse and Jasmine bond as they each define and reconnect with themselves in the wake of their breakups with Cesar and Ruby, respectively.
“We’re not a monolith,” she stresses. “There’s just so little of us [on screen] that it’s hard to try and represent everyone. So hopefully our show skyrockets other shows to tell those stories that have not been represented for so long” — especially given that a recent study by the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiativefilms feature Hispanic and/or Latinx characters, and how rarely Latinx people of all identities are given opportunities behind-the-scenes, too.
