Social Equity & Community Empowerment Facilitation

Jasmine, as a human being and facilitator, is grounded, transcendent, open, and embodied. In seeing her in multiple capacities: as a facilitator, co-collaborator, co-designer, and teacher, I have appreciated so much about the ways she holds space, and draws trust and compassion from it. She has a seamlessness through which she connects with people around her, and enters space not as a source of all-knowledge, but rather as a voice that reminds us that the answers we need are held within us as a collective. To be that kind of a guide midst a world demanding so many answers is both a gift, and a reminder that the pace of transformation is rhythmic, dynamic, and asking us to be listened to. Working with her is a balm; is an experience that moves forward with graciousness and kindness, and I would recommend her as a supportive collaborator to so many. There were so many times in working together where she would take moments of conversation that sit in the space of ideas and bring them down to earth through activities that really held onto the essence of what we are talking about. Her passion for building space that is meditative, playful, and honest all at once is something that is needed by a field of work that perhaps needs a helpful guide to re-learn some very human skills of simply listening and being. The way she senses what a moment may be saying, and attaches it to movement and action is remarkable.
