Four Degrees, Four Careers

No two planners are the same from their title, educational journey, and interest areas. Even though Nimo and Jas have a total of four degrees in planning, neither of them works in traditional planning roles. This week, they had the pleasure of interviewing Jasmine Burnett and Michelle Juma to add their perspective on life after studying planning. Jasmine Burnett is based in Atlanta, GA. Her work focuses on building self-determined and liberated Black communities based on cooperative economics. Jasmine is also a co-founder and co-owner of The Spoons Consultancy, a Black-women-run and staffed creative consulting cooperative.Michelle Juma is based in Washington, DC, and her work focuses on the full spectrum of affordable housing with expertise in equitable disaster recovery and revitalization. Michelle provides technical assistance to economically challenged rural, urban, and island communities, focusing on housing and community development.Thank you for listening and tuning in every other Tuesday where Nimo and Jas keep it Four Degrees to the Streets.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @the4degreespod.Subscribe or send us an email to connect with us!
