Jazmin Cazares was born and raised in Uvalde, Texas and is pursuing an undergraduate degree in Psychology at Texas A&M Corpus Christi. After her little sister, Jackie, was killed in the Robb Elementary shooting in 2022, Jazmin became a gun violence prevention activist, organizing rallies, testifying before Congress and speaking publicly across America. In 2023 she was recognized as a Girls Leading Change Honoree by former First Lady Jill Biden and was her guest to the State of the Union in 2024. Jazmin is also the President of Jackie’s Loving Hands, a non-profit that raises funds for veterinary scholarships in memory of her sister, who wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up.
