📣 Our next Fiat Lux Speaker Spotlight is Jasmine Stoy!

Jasmine is a Product Manager at Facebook within the Entertainment division. She's previously worked on Facebook Live, and now works on Music products. She's passionate about enabling connections through media, and creating media that reflects our generation. She's recently been devoting her free time to Kpop stan Twitter and watching lectures from Virgil Abloh. She graduated from Cal Class of 2016 and was a founding member of Free Ventures.

From Jasmine: "Tech's lack of inclusion is no secret. It's so important to openly shed light on the nuance of the industry's challenges so we can lift others up and advocate for change, but also know how we can take care of ourselves and protect our energy when we face challenges (big or small) every day, because it's a marathon and not a sprint."

So stoked to hear from you, Jasmine ✨
