Jasmine has an ability to connect with students from middle school to university, in an age appropriate way that helps demystify the myths and stereotypes, in a way that does not invoke fear, but rather empowers students with education and inspiration. Students learn how trafficking may happen, but also that there are resources. Students learn that although you may experience things in life, it is part of your story, not your identity. Everyone has a story and there is hope. .
We have partnered with Jasmine for trainings with Service Providers such as, Medical, EMS, Law Enforcement and social workers. She speaks and trains with authority, kindness and realness that helps service providers understand the dynamics of trafficking and exploitation. Often after her talks service providers can connect with things they have seen or responded to but may not have identified as trafficking. Jasmine empowers them with grace and hope that spurs them on to have better interactions with survivors in the future.

Jasmine possesses the rare ability to effectively communicate with a wide array of audiences. She simultaneously engages the mind and heart with her storytelling, offering practical ways to engage even a highly complex issue like human trafficking. Beyond her speaking ability, I also respect and appreciate who Jasmine is and the joyful, steady, authentic presence she brings to all that she does.
