In this episode of the Woman Run podcast, host Meredith Lowry sits down with Jasmine Hudson, co-founder of the award-winning brand Black Paper Party and a key leader in the Northwest Arkansas entrepreneurial scene.
Jasmine shares her journey from being recruited by Walmart out of an HBCU to becoming a full-time entrepreneur and community advocate. The conversation highlights how she, alongside partners Madia and J, scaled a seasonal celebrations brand into major retail stores like Macy’s, Target, and Family Dollar by filling the “black space” in representation.
Key Discussion Points:
- The “Grit” Behind the Success: Jasmine recounts the bold move that landed her a job at Walmart and the subsequent 2 a.m. pitch that secured a deal on Shark Tank with Barbara Corcoran.
- Building Community: From her deep involvement with the Girl Scouts and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority to her role with Black Owned NWA, Jasmine discusses the importance of creating spaces for Black-owned businesses to thrive regionally.
- The Power of Representation: The mission behind Black Paper Party and the importance of seeing Black culture represented in everyday lifestyle products, from wrapping paper to pajamas.
- Entrepreneurship for All Ages: A look at the upcoming Black Owned NWA Expo and the new “Kidpreneur” track designed to foster the next generation of business leaders.
- Authentic Social Media: Jasmine shares her “masterclass” approach to social media, balancing strategic content across platforms like Instagram and TikTok while maintaining an authentic connection with her audience.
