Jasmine Bryant, Co-founder and Treasurer of Women With Vision Inc, brings a wealth of expertise and dedication to our organization. Certified in ethical human research until 2027 through UTK CITI training, Jasmine is currently pursuing Community Health Worker Training at Meharry Medical College. Her journey in community advocacy began during the COVID pandemic at SEEED, where she engaged with the community. Since then, Jasmine has been at the forefront of addressing critical community issues such as gun violence, mental health, food insecurity, homelessness, and community building.
Jasmine advocates through her involvement in various initiatives, including the Housing Systems Advisory, Food Assessment Core Team, and Tennessee Justice Center. She has also been an active member of organizations such as Three3, UWGK, Knox Health Department, Rooted East, The Bottom, Growth Partnership Tennessee, Knox Pride, South Press Coffee, TJC, and SEEED. Recently, Jasmine collaborated with Yolanda Grant, Housing Director of UWGK, to lead focus groups aimed at fostering collaboration among organizations addressing housing issues, identifying gaps and barriers, and finding solutions for effective service delivery and funding resources.
I’ve previously spearheaded numerous impactful projects, including Thriving Communities, Food Insecurity Stakeholder Initiatives in Memphis 2023, tKnoxville Food Assessment, The Upward Summit, and Future’s Literacy, which focuses on food justice. The organization has also led the LUK (Lifting Up Knoxville) Liter Project, sat on panel for TJC Hunger Conference 2024, and collaborated with Knox Pride to distribute 3,000 pounds of food in East Knoxville and completed Career Pathway Classes. Additionally, My Daughter’s Journey , working with young ladies in community advocacy, is a key initiative that highlights my dedication to fostering inclusivity and addressing community needs.
Through these efforts, I/Women With Vision remains deeply committed to amplifying the voices of the Black/Brown communities, fostering inclusivity, and empowering individuals to drive meaningful, positive change.
