Over the years, Jazmine has devoted herself to training and studying of the ministry of dance. Jazmine has traveled throughout Mississippi, Louisiana, and other regions to grow and minister in dance. She operates heavily as a prophetic and warrior dance minister with worship and complete adoration to God at the core of everything. Because of her love and obedience to God, the more she danced, the more God began to reveal more of Himself in her.

Life has taught Jazmine that there are truly many plans we can create for our lives, but in the end, it is God’s purpose that prevails (Proverbs 19:21). Throughout the ups and downs that Jazmine has faced in her life and ministry, she has held on to the scripture she lives by:
“And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.” Luke 1:45
