Today, Valeria sits down with Jasmine Tookes. Best known for her work as a Victoria's Secret Angel, Jasmine is now a co-founder of the activewear brand Joja, an ambassador for numerous luxury brands, and a new mother. We all know Jasmine Tookes - but we don’t REALLY know her. In this episode, Valeria and Jasmine open up about being the products of resilient young single moms, the harsh realities of their early modeling careers, and why building a clothing brand is not for the faint of heart. Jasmine, also vulnerable, opens up about how she maintains balance between her career and motherhood, her views on the creator economy, and her aspirations for her brand and personal life.
