Three-time Emmy Award-winning journalist and storyteller Jasmine Minor is a Chicago native and anchor/reporter for ABC 7 Eyewitness News, where she leads with a distinct focus on race, culture, and the stories shaping our communities.

Her work spans from deeply reported local investigations to national coverage at the White House—consistently centering voices too often overlooked. From exposing the realities faced by survivors of human and sex trafficking to unpacking the racism and lasting trauma experienced by Black professional athletes, her reporting doesn’t just inform—it challenges, reveals, and drives conversation.

Her impact has earned 13 Emmy nominations, an Edward R. Murrow Award, a Gracie Award, and two National Association of Black Journalists Salute to Excellence Awards. She was also named 2026 Woman of the Year by the Rotary Club of Chicago.

Before the newsroom, her foundation was built on discipline and drive as a Division I tennis player—part of a historic family legacy as the first and only family to have three Black women compete at the Division I level.

She went on to earn her master’s degree in political broadcast journalism from Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism, graduating first in her class, and was later selected for the prestigious Pew Research Center Fellowship in Washington, D.C.—a reflection of her commitment to covering the issues that shape society.

At her core, Jasmine is a storyteller driven by purpose. She believes the most powerful narratives don’t just report the moment—they shape what comes next. Her work is proof that when storytelling is intentional, it becomes a force for impact, influence, and lasting change.
