"Cove" was Jasmine's initial stage name before fully embracing her identity as a trans woman. This name played a crucial role in her self-discovery journey, where she learned a lot about herself. Throughout her life, Jasmine has aspired to be the person she needed during her own struggles in coming to terms with her true self, which is why she chose the name "Cove."
