Meet Jasmine Hines. She is a mother, an athlete, yoga instructor, innovator, and transformational leader. Jasmine is also the founder of The Inspower Agency (http://www.theinspoweragency.org/) and founder of Amplify and Activate (http://amplifyandactivate.com/). Jasmine facilitates difficult conversations in various organizations ranging from the construction industry to historical museums, to yoga studios. Her truth-telling, fiercely loving, creative and compassionate stand for humanity bridges trust amongst diverse groups optimizing communication, effectiveness, creativity, and leadership. She consistently delivers cutting-edge programming that helps to embolden and heal communities. Jasmine has played key roles in spearheading, leading, and creating the Charlotte chapter of the SisterCARE Alliances, the Self Care Agency, the Amplify and Activate Summit, as well as the Self Care Movement. The Self Care Movement is a reminder for our government and fellow citizens to recognize and acknowledge our collective humanity as the primary source of power. The Self Care Movement also serves as a catalyst to re-learn practical strategies to implement and address our critical needs. Through practicing a mindset of self-care, we can catalyze change within ourselves, our families, our communities and beyond. In this episode, Jasmine shares key moments that helped shape her into the powerful, black woman she is today. She invites us to look at our self-care through the lens Anana Harris Paris teaches in the book “Self Care Matters, A Revolutionary Approach”. I’m inspired by Jasmine’s unwavering commitment and lifestyle of healing, thriving, and creating with joy, and closing the gaps both personally and in the community, one fierce steady step at a time. This week I encourage you to look at your life and community, notice what’s thriving, notice what’s not. Pick one area of the 6 key categories referenced in this podcast which are: 1) spiritual and emotional 2) artistic 3) economic (time, money, energy) 4) physical 5) educational 6) social Then take the next best baby step towards healing and thriving in one of these areas.
