  • S5E20 | MJ - What's Stopping YOU

    Myrtha Jasmin (MJ) was born in Brooklyn, NY, and raised in Lawrence Township.  "I moved to Princeton because it offers a lot of opportunities, but I do believe there should be more diversity in the town and that people of color need more of a voice than they have had previously.

    After graduating from Lawrence High School, she attended the Gordon Phillips Beauty School in Lawrence, where she studied the arts of hair-styling and makeup. Her experience in numerous salons helped her understand the connection between beauty and culture. 

    In 2010, she started her own cosmetics line called Nadege Cosmetics, sold online. Myrtha continues to use her voice to inspire women around the Tri-State area, via video conferences and a growing social media platform. In 2015, she self-published her first novel titled "The Black Lily--The Frame,"  Myrtha has written other books including a short story, “The Loose Pearl” and her Highly Anticipated “Dearsis Journal” which are all available on Amazon.
