JASMEN ROGERS
Jasmen Rogers is a community organizer in Dade and Broward counties, working with the Black Lives Matter Alliance Broward on issues of racial justice and with Miami Workers Center on issues of gender justice. As a Black woman, Jasmen exists at the intersections of race and gender in her life and in her work. She is a co-founded the inConfirmistas Collective, a space for women, femmes, and gender non-conforming folks to fight back against patriarchy through healing, has trained hundreds of folks about the impacts of gender and racial bias, and has appeared on numerous panels. Through her work at the Miami Workers Center, she is championing the Femme Agenda, a theory of change that demands that we center the stories, experience, and power of Black Women in all social justice work. This Femme Agenda has facilitated Jasmen taking the lead on planning the Florida March for Black women, Black Girls Day at the Capitol, and Here Comes the Boom: An Assembly for Black Women and Girls, spaces that have brought together almost 2,000 Black women and their allies to demand safety, stability, and sanctity in the lives of Black Women and Girls. She is currently the Staff and Policy Director, leading her organization's local and statewide political work, amplifying the needs of Black and Brown women. Jasmen was also recently chosen for "Miami Girls Make History" and the Miami New Times' 2017 Miami's Most Interesting.
