In this episode of Highly Sensitive Money, Diana Yanez interviews Jasmine Rashid, who shares her journey into social justice and financial activism. Based in Oakland, Jasmine works at an impact investment advisory firm and is the author of the forthcoming book, 'The Financial Activist Playbook.'

Jasmine discusses her mixed-race background, her family's financial volatility, and her father's transition from Bangladeshi immigrant to financial planner. The conversation covers the psychological complexities of money, the shame surrounding financial discussions, and Jasmine's commitment to creating a more inclusive financial system. She also highlights her involvement with the Trauma of Money method and the Just Economy Institute, both of which focus on addressing financial trauma and advocating for economic justice.

Jasmine Rashid is a financial activist, writer, and impact investing professional, raised on Long Island, New York and based in Oakland, CA. In her role as Director of Impact for Candide Group, she helps investors flow their money to predominately women & BIPOC-led social justice-focused companies, funds, and vital organizations building the next economy. Her activism has included successfully supporting the #FamiliesBelongTogether coalition in shifting billions of dollars in big bank financing away from the migrant detention and private prison industry.

Her forthcoming book — The Financial Activist Playbook — builds on her knowledge base as a Congressman John Lewis fellow, Just Economy Institute alum, Trauma of Money Method certified practitioner, and lived experience as a girl in her late 20s just trying her best to navigate contradictions under Late Capitalism (and help build something better).
