One year ago, on August 25th, Jasmine underwent a nine-hour craniotomy.
VHL doesn’t end when surgery does. It means scans, specialists, treatment, and learning to keep living while carrying it all.
Over the past year, this community has watched Jasmine work through challenges with her speech, balance, tremors, fatigue, and confidence, and keep showing up anyway.
To every surgeon, nurse, therapist, family member, friend, and supporter who helped carry her through this year, thank you.
We’re not pretending everything has been easy. We’re saying she is still here.
Still healing. Still building. Still Jasmine.
You can be part of this story too. The Genetically Unapologetic tee, created with DC Beer and the Womxn’s Brew Culture Club, helps ease medical costs and spreads VHL awareness with every shirt worn. Youth sizes, hoodies, and sweatshirts are also available. Link in bio.
Wear it for Jasmine. Wear it for VHL awareness. Wear it for that family member or friend living with a genetic disorder.
