1.What is your name and where are you from? Jasmine Joseph, Brooklyn, NY
2.
How did you get into writing and project management?
Writing was always
my passion, so I studied Communications in college, interned at Global
Grind, and graduated with my Bachelor's degree in 2014. Upon graduation I
received a job offer from a family friend to join her team at Deustche
Bank as a project manager.
3. What is one word that describes your experience at St. John's University and why that one word?
Honestly,
short. I mainly went to class, got my work done, and left. I was never
into the whole "college experience" thing as much of it seemed like
extended high school with popular people and rumors. I just wanted to
get my degree and start my career.
4. What is life like as a wall streetwalker?
Everyday
I feel like I'm a tourist attraction but also a very small fish in a
huge pond. I never spent time in the financial district before working
there, so even as a New Yorker it was all new to me. It's like living in
MSNBC.
5. How can people contact you online?
I'm on Twitter almost every second of every day. I have the most entertaining followers so I'm easily contacted via Twitter.
6. What is one goal you want to accomplish in 2016?
I
want to secure a way to make money without having a boss. I have a lot
of things in the works that I'm keeping secret until I am 100% happy
with the outcome.
7. What are your feelings about Beyonce'?
That
feeling when you wake up to an email saying class is cancelled, or your
mom surprises you with your favorite meal, or when direct deposit hits
your account, or when you walk into Church on Easter looking, feeling,
smelling like a billion bucks...that's how I feel about Beyoncé.
8. What's your definition of a hustler?
A hustler is anyone who goes after what they want and never settles for less.
9. What does hip hop mean to you?
Hip hop is ours. It's our lifestyle. It's how we talk, how
we dress, how we communicate with people around the world. Hip hop is a
part of my soul especially as a young black woman born and raised in
Brooklyn. It's the best way to get Instagram captions LOL!
