Meet Jasmine Rand, the founder of law firm Rand Law, LLC in Miami, Florida. She is a sweet, lively and determined young woman who is fast becoming a business mogul, as she transitions seamlessly between her roles as an attorney, professor, columnist, television personality, and now swimwear designer for her line Jasmine Swimwear.
Currently, she is an adjunct professor at the University Of Miami School Of Law; annual teaching faculty in Harvard Law School’s Trial Advocacy Workshop; a frequent legal analyst on MSNBC and CNN; and is signed to APB Speakers Bureau, where she tours the United States and internationally speaks about human rights issues.
Most noteworthy is her role as an attorney on the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown cases in the United States, as well as working on the Mario Deane case – the young man slain in a jail cell in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
Having strong artistic bones, she grew up being allowed to paint murals on her walls, and while instilling discipline and academics, her parents encouraged creativity and gave her an art studio in their basement. What we at Buzzz Magazine found hilarious was her confession of drawing life-size dresses on paper and pinning them to herself as a little girl. A multifaceted woman, Jasmine has a passion for fashion as she does for law. From business suits to swimsuits, she’s as fearless in her game-changing designs as she is in the courtroom.
With everything that Jasmine has on her plate, she still managed to debut her global line Jasmine Swimwear for the first time here in Jamaica during Caribbean Fashionweek 2016. Her designs are inspired by her world travel to Morocco, Colombia, Kenya, Egypt, and back to Jamaica, along with her vision of destinations she still dreams of visiting. The names of her pieces complement the designs: with Egyptian Goddess you can feel the sway of the Nile, or the sensual heat of a lively Nairobi Night, or see the flicker of a Moroccan lantern in her Marrakech bikini and cover-up. In her Jamrock collection, her love for Jamaica shines vibrantly in the Caribbean Queen piece, as well as in the black, green and gold of Jamaica Jamaica, a full-length cover-up debuted on the runway by Miss Jamaica Universe Sharlene Radlein.
