Jasmine Johnson

Jasmine Johnson is the Co-founder of Black Zen and has been an active meditator for almost a decade. She received training from UCLA’s Meditation and Research Center and has incorporated her training and personal meditation studies into Black Zen's weekly editorials and event programming.

BLACK ZEN was specifically created to remove the social and financial barriers that restrict black and brown communities from discovering the benefits of meditation, and to allow a space for every community to feel included in wellness-based practices.

To date she has worked with LA County EMT students, partnered with community centers and conducted private meditation classes to help students manage daily stress, anxiety and overcome trauma.
