The quest takes her upon a journey of self discovery, retracing her turbulent transition from the quiet and self doubting man she used to be, to the flamboyant and self assured Ms Jasmine Divine; leading lady and frequenter of the gossip pages of numerous celebrity magazines; and of course the people’s queen of hearts.
