In this episode, Jasmine Cannon-Ikurusi, Founder & CEO of The Sapphire Employability and Wellbeing Academy (TSEAWA), takes us through her personal journey—one that many might call impossible, but she calls delusional enough to dream.

From being told she was dreaming too big to leading a movement that empowers thousands, Jasmine shares what it takes to break barriers, defy expectations, and thrive in leadership as a woman, a person of color, a neurodivergent individual, and a queer CEO.
