At the age of 19, Jasmine was diagnosed with epilepsy and deemed 100 percent disable. This diagnosis, in a sense, left her unemployable due to employers fear of her having a seizure while on the job. Jasmine is using her experience as a testament to overcoming her challenges and inspiring others that have been diagnosed to do the same. She says, "Alot of people have great skills but are not working due to the notions that people have about epilepsy. For that reason, I want it to be known that I want to hire individuals with disabilities such as epilepsy or make them business owners."

Despite the pandemic, 2020 saw a surge in entrepreneurship, with 67% of entrepreneurs showing interest in pursuing new market opportunities. (forbes.com) The Opulence Firm will help new and existing entrepreneurs secure their space in the marketplace.
