She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, and graduated with honors: Phi Beta Kappa, Lambda Iota Tau, Summa Cum Laude, and a member of W.E.B. Dubois Honor Program. Prior to law school, Jazmyn volunteered her time tutoring economically disadvantaged children through both the Big Sister Lil Sister Program, as well as through the Women of Perfection Organization. While tutoring economically disadvantaged children she realized she wanted to serve the black community by participating in the mainstream culture in a way that would both serve as a role model for and permit her to give active voice to a minority who are both under-represented in the legal community and who are often exploited by our judicial system.
