Jasmine said, “It’s powerful, it’s special. To have the name and work for the brand, doesn’t feel real. People say all the time, ‘That’s your brand.’ I say, ‘No, it’s not,’ [but] yes, it is. I’m aware of it, but I don’t think about it as much as people around me do.“
Not only does Jasmine play an important role in the company, but she also handles endorsements for WNBA players. Her role involves providing equality under the care of the brand.
