I am really heartbroken. Jasmine was truly a girl’s girl. And not for performance purposes either. We have a connection via Spelman via being from the TriState area and journeying as Sacred Women. 🌹
I cannot believe she is now Ancestor. She is such a light. It brings me to tears to think while battling cancer she was still conceiving of ways to be of service and heal others. ❤️🩹💔
Jasmine Charnelle supported me as a woman and I will forever be indebted to her displays of love and compassion for me and BlyssombyShapel. As a new mother and caregiver as well as transitioning away from a toxic relationship and protecting myself in the chaos of daily life, Jas was full of love and light. She was a very good big sister in an easy and consistent way. I will never forget how she poured into me and my vision with Blyssom in the early stages. She supported by receiving services and buying products but also in including me in the pop ups in her community in Newark, NJ.
I am so sick of cancer. And I am so enraged and sadden with Black women dying from cancer. Jasmine just turned 37. Less than two weeks ago. 💔😭
Jasmine’s life reminds me that Black womanhood, at its most sacred, is not spectacle but practice. It is the quiet and consistent labor of showing up, pouring in, affirming, and making room for one another to become. She embodied a kind of care that felt ancestral even while she was still here, the kind of love that does not seek applause but leaves a permanent imprint on the lives it touches. In Jasmine, I experienced what it means for a Black woman to mother community, to nurture vision, to extend tenderness in the midst of her own suffering, and to remain committed to healing as both calling and offering. That is why this loss feels so heavy. We are not only grieving a beautiful soul, but also the living testimony of what Black women give to the world even while carrying more than they should ever have to bear.❤️🩹
Jasmine you are so beautiful and I will all the time we were suppose to expand together. Thank you for being you through and through ✨🙏🏾
