Jasmine Browley

Business Editor at Essence

I am a Chicago, IL-based writer who currently sits as the Business editor at ESSENCE Magazine. Since joining the publication in 2021 supporting the publication’s senior Money & Careers editor to report on the intersection of Black women and their financial journey, I've amassed hundreds of interviews with celebrities, community impact leaders, and other notable public figures. I regularly moderate digital and on-camera conversations across multiple platforms under the ESSENCE Ventures banner including Twitter Spaces, Instagram Live, in-website, and in-person fireside discussions.

To date, I've interviewed Issa Rae, Regina King, Normani, Bozoma Saint John, Queen Latifah, and Elaine Welteroth among many others.

Before joining ESSENCE, I worked as a public relations and communications strategist where she created high-level strategy, messaging assets and measurable tactics for corporations like Meridian Health, Kimberly Clarke, Kraft Foods, and General Motors. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from Chicago State University and a Master’s in public affairs journalism from Columbia College Chicago.
