Day 1: Keep it CONNECTED! Tell me how we met.
w/ Dree Berry of @SDBlackProfessionals

I’m originally from Detroit with my parents from Alabama and Mississippi. I’ve been living in San Diego for 7 years now and you all have helped me create my family away from family! I have church family, dance family, STEM family, and San Diego Black Professionals “meetup” family who I do life with. I’ve always been curious about the responses I’d receive when asking this: please drop me a note or comment on How We Met!

Day 2: Keep it HONEST! Leave a recommendation.
w/ Felena Hanson of Hera Hub

Welcome back to Day 2! You have all been part of my journey and I am so grateful that you are here with me to Celebrate 5 years in business and the launch of my new brand Jas:Maven. One success was being honored with the Hera Hub STEAM Trailblazer Award. Another win was the Black History in Motion event for Black History Month with several African American Employee Resource Groups.  

However long or short, please leave me a Google review, Facebook review, or LinkedIn Recommendation if you’ve worked with me in any capacity and I’ve left a positive impression on your life.

Day 3: Keep it HOT! Ask a STEAM related question on the virtual panel.
w/ Courtney Dade of CSD Marketing and Consulting & Caleb with Curls

Yesterday, some of you mentioned that we first met after seeing me on a panel or a presentation. The STEAM Collaborative exists to exponentially increase equity in STEAM Education. I often have time for Questions, and usually get pretty interesting ones like “What is the coolest job you’ve had?” What is one question you would ask me if you and your child were in the audience for Q&A?

Day 4: Keep it REAL! Provide your unique solutions for problems you see in the community.
w/ Chef Geoff Cole of Admirals Experience

There are so many forums, surveys and focus groups to talk about problems in the community. Jas:Maven is one solution that brings you together with The Right People to have everyone achieve their goals. To the many problems facing inequity and keeping us segregated, what is your solution?

Day 5: Keep it MOVING! Join the Five Days of Gratitude Donation Challenge! Funds go directly to programming that support and impact under-served communities.
w/ Cory Morrison, Financial Planner

This has been an amazing five days together! Your responses have been thoughtful, uplifting, and authentic. Thank you for your honesty and just being you. On this final day of gratitude I’d like to humbly ask your support for continuing the conversation and taking action for improved education and unity experiences.

Hello Family! Five years ago today, September 12, 2014, I officially became a CEO! Many of you have been there with me every step of the way from when I started tutoring math out of my apartment. Then, to planning events and speaking on the importance of diversity in Technical education from an Artistic perspective with The STEAM Collaborative. On to learning more about business through graduating my MBA program with a 4.0 and as Student of the Year. Today, I have the honor to officially launch my new Social Brand, Jas:Maven, specializing in Connecting the Right People. Thank you God for giving me the vision that is much greater than this and for ordering every step along the way! Thank you family, friends, and collabors for your support as I continue to serve you and pay it forward. 

With Love, Jasmine @theSTEAMcollab @theJasMaven

What an honor it was to lead a Fireside Chat with the League of Extraordinary Scientists and Engineers as a part of EXPO Day during the San Diego Festival of Science and Engineering for the Second Year!

Thanks to my Friends and Collabors who were also able to attend my Chat “In a visually unbalanced career field, Jasmine artistically engineers a new perspective on diversity.”

Eternally grateful for Jeane and the team at LXS and the ongoing “Science-ing” opportunities to meet the coolest nerds I’ve ever met!
