Jasmine Lowery is a believer, wife, mommy, entrepreneur, author, speaker, and content creator who is passionate about encouraging women to unapologetically follow their God-given dreams and knitting their faith into all areas of their lives. She is a natural storyteller who uses lessons from her life to help women find hope amid insurmountable situations. Her love for ministering to women led her to launch an international women’s ministry called Encouraging Her Community, LLC.

Jasmine, who resides in Richmond, VA, is also the proud owner of Agape Love Events, LLC, a wedding and floral design company she built from the ground up in 2015. She often shares that she is a proud “mamapreneur” who had to quickly learn how to knit her babies into her business plan. Her work has been featured in Essence Magazine, Martha Stewart Weddings, Black BRIDE, and more.

Jasmine also has a huge heart for education. She graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education and taught in the public school system for over seven years. Despite all of the hats that Jasmine wears, she acknowledges her first ministry is within her home. She is very family oriented and admits she wouldn’t be the woman she is today if it weren’t for the words of wisdom, prayers, and encouragement from her mother, grandmothers, and mother-in-law. She finds joy in spending quality time with her loving husband, Rashad Lowery, and their three beautiful children, Rashad, Jr., Isaiah, and Joy Elle.

At the beginning of this year, Jasmine published her first book, Encouraging Mama: A 21 Day Soul Care Devotional. Her hope is that this would become a life-changing tool used by women all over the world. Some of the soul care tips include unplugging as a family, taking nature walks, and listening to The Bible App. She says, “ My hope is that mommies all around the world will be inspired to knit soul care into their motherhood journey”

Jasmime says, “I often refer to my motherhood journey as wild, yet wonderful. From tackling mountains of laundry to cheering on my sons at their basketball games or painting my daughter’s nails, I know it takes a lot to pour into my children on a daily basis. There have been seasons when I didn’t understand the power of intentionally caring for my mind, body, and soul. These were the seasons when I struggled to enjoy my motherhood journey fully. Running on fumes didn’t only hurt me but also hurt my family. The more I prioritized focusing on nourishing my relationship with The Lord and caring for my mental and physical health, the more I showed up as the best version of myself for my family. Even on the tough days, I learned that making sure I carved out time for soul care helped get me through the really tough mothering moments.”

In March 2020, when COVID spread across the United States, Jasmine says she found herself at home with all three of her children (9 months old, one and five years old). She was forced to slow down and seek GOD on what it meant to be a fully present mama. The various tips that The Holy Spirit provided me would turn into the soul care tips I provide within her new book.
