About Jasmine A. Paul

Jasmine A. Paul understands what it feels like to struggle with money—and how life-changing it is to gain confidence around it. As a first-generation college student, she hid her financial difficulties while navigating school, often sleeping in her car and carrying the weight of shame in silence. That experience shaped her mission: to ensure no young person feels alone or unprepared when it comes to money.

Through storytelling, practical tools, and an approachable style, Jasmine breaks down complex financial topics into lessons anyone can understand and apply. Her work is built on a simple belief: when people start talking openly about money, they unlock the confidence to dream bigger, plan smarter, and create the lives they deserve.

What Audiences Are Saying

Very Engaging and Very Knowledgeable she speaks on things that you’d only hear in like college and not any Baltimore high schools.

It is an incredibly interactive and informative session that’s very important for those who are in need of more financial knowledge.

The session unpacks investing in a way that is simple and easy to understand and helps you understand ways to actually start today

Jasmine is very knowledgeable and attentive to the audiences needs, questions and provides great explanations of financial topics. She provided practical next steps and great advice on how to identify financial advisors and budgeting.

The session on Sharing Your Money Story was very informative and educational! I learned a lot about the basics of investing and realizing how my financial story helps to shape my practices today. I am looking forward to the next workshop!

Her experiences as a first-generation student really spoke to the majority of our students who also will be the first generation in their families attending college. …She inspired the students and they left the class excited and feeling with the power and knowledge that they can also pursue their own financial success stories.
