Jasmine Brockington
Hi, I’m Jasmine Brockington, a senior Journalism major at Hampton University with a minor in Film Studies. I’ve had the opportunity to intern with NBCUniversal and CNBC, where I supported shows like Mad Money with Jim Cramer and The Last Call with Brian Sullivan. On campus, I serve as President of Hampton’s Student Recruitment Team, leading 200+ student tour guides alongside the Office of Admission, and I also work as an Associate Producer for our student newscast, WHOV-TV. Beyond that, I stay involved with organizations like NABJ and HerCampus.
Outside the newsroom, I’m the founder of @jasmine.turns.the.page, a growing book platform where I share reviews, recommendations, and literary discussions with a community of readers.
I’m a proud Richmond, Virginia, native, a four-time Taco Bell Live Más Scholar earning over $100,000 in scholarships, and a Washington Media Scholars Foundation award recipient. Skilled in AP Style, Adobe Premiere Pro, ENPS, WordPress, and Canva, I love combining my technical skills with my passion for storytelling, leadership, and amplifying diverse voices. My goal is to build a career as a television producer, bringing impactful stories to life and ensuring underrepresented perspectives are seen and heard.

Jasmine communicates clearly and consistently, and she makes a thoughtful effort to build strong, collaborative relationships with her team. Her contributions were so valued that she was invited back for another internship term. It’s been a real pleasure to witness her growth, both professionally and personally!”

Projects
In this personal essay, I explored the emotional weight many women carry when trying to meet everyone’s expectations while ignoring their own needs. I unpacked the pressure to be “the good girl”—the dependable one, the strong one, the polite one—and how that pressure can lead to guilt, burnout, and silence.
In this reported feature, I explored how shifting dorm visitation policies at Hampton University are directly affecting student entrepreneurs.
This story highlights the resilience and creativity of studentpreneurs balancing academics, business, and institutional barriers, while also raising questions about access, equity, and how HBCUs can better support student innovation.
A Moment of Grace
Produced a profile feature on Hampton student Grace Hackney, highlighting her experiences and achievements.
