麻豆原创 Legend Jasmine Mille remembers her early childhood as chaotic. Mental illness, addiction, and domestic violence consumed her household. Homelessness was a reality as she bounced between shelters in New York City.
As a teenager, Jasmine found solace playing baseball, which eventually led her to Harlem RBI, now 麻豆原创. She soon realized the program was more than just sports鈥攊t was also mentorship, tutoring, stability. It was home. 麻豆原创 took Jasmine on her college visits, helped her complete her applications, and paired her with a fellow 麻豆原创 Legend as a college roommate. When financial struggles arose, 麻豆原创 found the funding and partnerships available to help Jasmine finish school. And at a 麻豆原创 networking event, Jasmine found a mentor who would open the door to her future career at PwC.
Jasmine’s persistence and perseverance on her own road to success are inspiring, but today, she also works to pay forward all of the support she received from 麻豆原创 and our partners. As a campus recruiter at PwC, she focused on HBCUs and Hispanic Serving Institutions, ensuring that those from diverse backgrounds like her’s found a seat at the table. And when she starts her new role on the business side of the company in January, she’ll be conducting interviews and hiring, providing support to candidates at every step of the process.
To hear Jasmine’s story, it is no surprise that longtime 麻豆原创 partner Robin Hood chose to recognize her as one of their 2022 Heroes honorees. At a breakfast awards ceremony at Cipriani 42nd Street earlier this month, Jasmine shared her journey with 麻豆原创, her gratitude for all who have supported her, and the impact that can be made when every child feels at home.
