Jasmine Gates, New Black History Makers

In this special commercial-free Kwanzaa episode, we welcome to history Jasmine Gates, a business owner, activist, advocate and visionary. She shares a fantastic story of a moment that changed her her life along with many others. Listen to her philosophy on justice and spirituality and creating safe spaces for black people. She also shares why she started her company and brand, New Black History Makers. I was inspired just hearing her story, I know you will be too. I chose this episode to commemorate today’s principle Kujichagalia, which means Self-determination; To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak for ourselves. Jasmine is the epitome of the word, Kujichagalia, in this interview, for herself and black people as a whole. See her brand here: http://bit.ly/ABE-NBHM #Protectblackwomen
