Jasmine Jones founder & editor
Founder of Babette. Founder and CEO of Myya and Cherry Blossom Intimates. Johns Hopkins Ward Infinity Fellow. Certified Mastectomy Fitter.
Jasmine has spent ten years on the part of breast cancer care that usually happens out of sight: the weeks after surgery, when women are sent home to work out the rest on their own. She talks about what she found there and what she built to fix it.

What happens to women after the surgery is over?
The prescription says mastectomy bra and breast form. The insurance says denied. Jasmine has fitted women three weeks after surgery and thirty years after it, and she explains where the system drops them and how a company can catch them.
For hospitals, cancer centers, patient advocates and women's health audiences
How do you build a company that bills insurance and still feels like a brand?
Myya became the first online insurance-billable post-mastectomy intimates platform in the country. Jasmine walks through how it got there, from physician partnerships and wholesale to 3D printing, subscriptions and raising nearly $3 million.
For founders, accelerators, business schools and investors
What can AI actually do for a patient?
As a Johns Hopkins Ward Infinity Fellow, Jasmine built and deployed three tools using large language models to find patients, guide them and track their outcomes. The work won a Best in AI Award and a Community Award. She talks about what worked, what didn't and what's next, including early work with quantum computing in breast cancer research.
For health systems, health-tech, AI and innovation audiences
What does Washington need to hear from small businesses?
Jasmine represented small businesses at the SEC Forum, where her recommendations were published and submitted to Congress. She talks about capital access for women founders and what it takes to be heard in policy rooms.
For policy forums, chambers of commerce and entrepreneurship programs
Why does breast cancer need its own magazine?
Women in the fitting room didn't only want bras. They wanted to talk about sex, money, work, menopause and who they were now. Jasmine explains why she started Babette, an independent publication about life with and after breast cancer, and why care and culture belong on the same page.
For media, culture, women's leadership and community audiences
About Jasmine
Who is Jasmine Jones?
Event organizers are welcome to use this bio in programs and introductions. A short version follows it.
About ten years ago, Jasmine Jones noticed that women were being sent home after breast cancer surgery to sort out their own recovery care. So she built the fix. As founder and CEO of Myya and Cherry Blossom Intimates, she created the country's first online insurance-billable post-mastectomy intimates platform. It has served more than 21,000 patients, raised nearly $3 million and partnered with more than 160 physicians across hospital systems. Its technology is now built into hospitals to connect patients with the care they were prescribed. Fast Company named Myya a Most Innovative Brand, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce named it a Top 10 Most Digitally Innovative Company.
As a Johns Hopkins Ward Infinity Fellow, Jasmine built and deployed three digital tools for patient identification, navigation and outcomes using large language models. The work received a Best in AI Award and a Community Award. She is now exploring how quantum computing might be used in genetic research on breast cancer risk and in managing neutropenia in oncology patients, and her team is preparing a white paper on its findings.
Earlier, Jasmine served as Vice President of the Young Professional Advisory Council at Breast Care for Washington, leading fundraising, corporate partnerships and programming for women after breast cancer. She is a Certified Mastectomy Fitter, a former Miss District of Columbia USA, and certified in nonprofit governance through BoardSource.
Her work has been recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30 and Washington Business Journal 40 Under 40. She has given a TEDx talk, spoken at Harvard, Columbia and Penn State, and represented small businesses at the SEC Forum, where her recommendations were published and submitted to Congress. Two documentaries following her work are streaming on Peacock and Apple TV. She is also the founder and editor of Babette.
