Keynotes that Move People and Institutions
I deliver keynotes and panel talks that blend research, storytelling, and practical strategy to help audiences see systems differently—and leave with frameworks they can use immediately. Whether your event is focused on health equity, Black women’s health, or sustaining impact in academia and public health, I bring clarity and momentum for talks that stay with audiences long after the stage.
BOOK DR. JASMINE TO SPEAK
Signature Speaking Topics
01
Redefining Success in Academic & Mission-Driven Work
High-achieving researchers, academics, and professionals are chasing success at the expense of their well-being. We need a new blueprint, one that includes joy, rest, and radical self-preservation. Anchored in personal experience and science, this keynote challenges the belief that exhaustion equals excellence and reframes rest as a strategic, sustainable leadership practice, especially in academia, research, and healthcare. Practical, honest, and actionable.
Best for: Faculty development, research leadership retreats, early-career cohorts, DEI/people strategy events.
02
Centering Black Women’s Health:
From Data to Disruption
Studying disparities isn’t enough. We have to disrupt them.
This talk examines public health, racism, and reproductive justice through an intersectional lens, moving institutions from awareness to action with research-backed, community-informed strategies.
Best for: Medical schools, health systems, maternal health convenings, public health and policy events.
03
From PhD to CEO: Building Sustainable Impact Through Academic Entrepreneurship
As funding landscapes shift, researchers and institutions need new models that keep evidence-based work alive: strategic partnerships, consulting, commercialization pathways, and community-aligned revenue streams. This talk offers a clear framework for moving from expertise to enterprise, without compromising rigor, ethics, or equity.
Best for: Research centers, CTSAs, innovation hubs/offices, academic medicine, professional societies, postdoc and early-career cohort programs.
04
Inclusive Research by Design:
Better Questions, Better Data
The myth of “hard-to-reach populations” in health research is a reflection of broken systems. It’s time we reimagine research to center and serve the people most impacted. This talk shows how community-rooted, non-extractive research practices strengthen recruitment, retention, and trust, leading to better quality data and better science. Ideal for teams who want more representative participation and more ethical, effective engagement.
Best for: Clinical research units, CTSAs, investigators, research teams, foundations.

“Yesterday’s commencement ceremony for the degree candidates at USC’s Keck School of Medicine was amazing. It was truly one of the most impactful commencement speeches I’ve had the pleasure of hearing, whether at my own ceremonies or others I’ve attended.”
