Jasmine Teaa, 26, has successfully turned adversity into opportunity following her expulsion from a college sorority due to her online modelling career. Despite criticism and the loss of friendships, Jasmine has triumphed, establishing a lucrative career and gaining real acceptance.
Her venture into the world of provocative online content began during her college years, initially to cover her tuition fees. This move caused strains with friends and a temporary rift with her family. Nevertheless, Jasmine persevered, eventually reconciling with her parents and thriving professionally.
The disclosure of her online activities by a former friend to her sorority led to her expulsion, but Jasmine remained unshaken, focusing on her entrepreneurial ambitions. “I definitely considered stopping,” Jasmine admitted. “There was so much stigma around my job, but I really do enjoy the work and being my own boss.”
Now, as a self-made millionaire with over 600,000 followers on Instagram (@jasteaa), Jasmine has cultivated a supportive network of new friends within her industry. “I’ve made a lot of new friends in the industry,” she commented. “At the end of the day, we all face the same stigma, so we’re in this together.”
Jasmine’s journey exemplifies the power of perseverance and the importance of self-belief in overcoming obstacles. Her advice to others reflects her experiences: “Even though I lost a lot of friends along the way, I was able to find some true friends who I view as my family.”
