Jazmine Erving and Ivy Welburn: Ownership, Vision, and Building Legacy from the Ground Up

In this compelling and forward-moving conversation, Monica Wisdom sits down with Jazmine Erving and Ivy Welburn, two visionary founders who are reshaping what ownership looks like in an industry few ever consider.

As HBCU graduates, Jazmine and Ivy have made history as the first Black women to own a crystal mine, a site once held by Tiffany & Co.. Their journey did not begin with a strategic plan or industry background. It began with a moment. A single weekend during the pandemic that opened a door neither of them expected.

What followed was not luck. It was discernment, courage, and the willingness to step into something unfamiliar and build it with intention.

Jazmine brings a legacy rooted in excellence as the daughter of Julius Erving, while Ivy’s career as a celebrated floral designer has placed her in rooms with some of the most recognized names in entertainment. Together, they combine vision and creative discipline in a way that is both grounded and expansive.

This conversation moves beyond inspiration and into execution. They share what it takes to recognize opportunity, move without hesitation, and build something that has the potential to outlast them.

At its core, this is a story about ownership, alignment, and the decisions that shape a different future.
