National Disability Employment Awareness Month is a time to celebrate the countless achievements and personal journeys of individuals who navigate unique challenges with strength and determination. In that spirit, we invite you to explore Jasmine’s story—a powerful example of self-belief, perseverance, and the potential within each person, no matter the obstacles they face.
“My name is Jasmine, I am 32 years old and was born Charleston, SC. I don’t remember how old I was when I became hearing impaired, only knowing that I would still have a rewarding life. Working for Palmetto Goodwill at the Naval Weapons Station Galley has allowed me to become more self-sufficient. It has enhanced my work ethic and job skills, and has been encouraging to me and my family.
Since coming to work at Palmetto Goodwill over 10 years ago, my coworkers, supervisors, and team members have treated me like family. For that, I am grateful to be a part of such a supportive team!”
Jasmine’s experience highlights the impact of a positive and encouraging work environment—one where individuals can build confidence, sharpen their skills, and find fulfillment in their roles. Her journey is a reminder of the power of opportunity, support, and believing in yourself.
