*ATTENTION*
During the recording of this episode, unfortunately, Jasmine's audio to her mic stopped recording at  (09:20). I did my best to adjust her sound using the mic that was attached to my person. Thanks for your understanding!

On today's episode, I sit down with my good friend, Jasmine Banks.  We first met back in 2017 through a mutual friend and have remained in contact since then. Jasmine is a born leader and thrives on serving others. She is an educator deep down, having served as a teacher to students and as a principal for a school community. She's also a successful author having published her book AttuneMEnt which is a series of raw memories and reflections turned poems coated in imagery and outlined by lyrical dialogue. Currently, as CEO, she leads an organization and facilitates operations of a public charter in South Central LA. 

Despite the issues with the microphone, the episode is full of great discussion topics such as her journey from college to her current career. We also discuss her dating experience and tips on how men should approach or interact with a woman like herself.  We also reflect on using social media, our connections throughout the years, and much more.
