DFW Black Moms Walking was born out of Jasmine Holmes' personal journey into motherhood a journey marked by transformation, challenge, and the deep desire for connection. As a mother of five, Jasmine found herself navigating the complexities of parenting without a local support system. Raised by a single father, she entered motherhood without a clear roadmap and quickly realized how isolating it could be.

Determined to prioritize her mental health, Jasmine began therapy and uncovered the profound value of community. She learned that motherhood was never meant to be a solo journey and that it was both unrealistic and unfair to expect one partner to carry the emotional weight alone. Through her healing, Jasmine became passionate about creating what she wished she had: a space where Black mothers could walk, talk, breathe, and simply be together.

At the same time, she was working to grow her career as a realtor and a certified community doula. She saw a clear gap there were few, if any, spaces where mothers could network, care for their wellness, and bring their children along without judgment or pressure. So, she built what didn’t exist.

What began as a simple walk, a few moms, a shared desire for wellness and connection grew into a movement. DFW Black Moms Walking is more than a walking group; it's a mission. It's Jasmine’s passion project and calling: to pour into mothers, build community, and break generational cycles by centering wellness, support, and collective healing for Black moms in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
