Keynote Speaker & Business Development Leader

Who Do I
Think I Am?Exactly who I was built to be.

Raised by a teenage mother who made sure of one thing — her voice mattered. Ten years later, Jasmine R. Johnson is running a company, closing deals in energy infrastructure, raising twins, and showing rooms full of women what audacity looks like as a foundation, not a fight.

The Brand, In One Word
Audacity.

Be Bold. Show Up. Who Do I Think I Am? — Exactly Who I'm Supposed to Be.

Audacity isn't a stage persona Jasmine puts on for a keynote. It's the thing her mother handed her before she could talk — and the thing she's spent a decade proving out loud, in boardrooms, at substations, and at home with her twins.

Signature Keynote

Who Do I Think I Am? Audacity, Boldness & Authenticity

A talk about what it looks like to move through the world — and through an industry — when someone raised you to know your voice matters. Not a recovery story. A foundation story.

Jasmine didn't overcome self-doubt to get where she is. She was built right from the beginning, and her career in energy, her business, and her presence in any room reflect that.

She's the only keynote speaker who can explain how a substation carries power to a data center and how her AKA chapter taught her to lift as she climbs — in the same room, without missing a beat.

The Foundation

Raised to know her voice mattered — before she ever had to prove it

Jasmine was raised by a single, teenage mother — and credits her entirely. Her mother gave her something many people spend a lifetime trying to manufacture: the unshakeable belief that her voice mattered. Not once she'd proven herself. Not once the room was ready for her. Now. Always.

“I was raised by a teenage mother who made sure I knew one thing: your voice matters.”

That foundation is what makes her story different — and what she's built with it since: a decade running Sparrow Energy Services, an MBA from Rice, a business development career at Michels Corporation, and a home with twins who are getting the same foundation she was given.
