The immense legacy of Michael Jordan and his unrivaled basketball greatness have undeniably created a formidable legacy for his children to navigate. However, they have managed to carve their own paths, and Jasmine Jordan stands as a shining example of resilience and determination. With her extensive tenure at Jordan Brand, Jasmine has not only proven her worth but has also left an indelible mark on the company. Her invaluable contributions have played a pivotal role in generating an astonishing $19 billion in sales over the past five years alone. Despite her undeniable accomplishments, Jasmine continuously grapples with the challenge of addressing perceptions of preferential treatment arising from her illustrious lineage.
Jasmine Jordan excels in her role as a PR professional for both the Charlotte Hornets and Jordan Brand. She also works as a field representative for the Jordan Brand, where she represents renowned female athletes such as Rhyne Howard and Aerial Powers. Her efforts have fostered a strong bond between Jordan Brand and female athletes, particularly those in the WNBA.
Jasmine Jordan had to fight the perception of being Michael Jordan’s daughter
During an interview with 9MagTV, Jasmine faced a question about desiring preferential treatment as Jordan’s daughter. She responded by acknowledging that her bio mentions her as MJ’s daughter but emphasized her individual identity. Jasmine further explained that although being MJ’s daughter carries significance for others, she wanted to confront this matter upfront before moving forward. In the interview, she stated:
“It was never something that felt like I needed to constantly throw into people’s faces or introduce myself as MJ’s daughter… I am gonna introduce myself as Jasmine. I never felt the need to just be in the public eye like that. If it happened organically and that’s essentially what is happening now.”
Jasmine Jordan tells the hilarious story of the failed attempt to be a designer
Jasmine Jordan represents the Jordan Brand. Her journey to success is both amusing and inspiring, showcasing her relentless spirit. In a recent interview, she revealed that as a child, she would create sketches and ask her father to submit them to the company. However, the company would send her the “ugly” prototypes of her designs, which was quite embarrassing for her.
“I literally would create sketches and then give them to my dad. I’m like ‘send them in, send them in, I wanna see what they think.’ They were sweet, they made prototypes of things that I drew up and I was ‘this is so ugly, please don’t produce this.’”
Jasmine never achieved her childhood dream of becoming a designer. However, she eventually found success and made a name for herself by assisting the Jordan Brand with publicity.
