Jasmine Stewart

Jasmine Stewart is the proud winner of MasterChef Junior, Season 5.  When she took home the title at age 12, she became the first African American winner of MasterChef Junior and the only contestant in the show’s history to win the show after having been eliminated.  She is a perfect example of the result of hard work and sheer determination.  Jasmine was honored to work with both Gordon Ramsay and Christina Tosi, the judges of this FOX television show, as well as with Martha Stewart, Wolfgang Puck and many others.  Since the show, Jasmine has stayed busy with Camp MasterChef appearances, launched an online cooking class via BluPrint called “Jasmine’s Delightful Desserts”, was selected to be a part of the Junior Chef Council for Great Wolf’s Lodge, and frequently serves as a keynote speaker across the country.  She is currently a 9th grader at Milton High School and lives in Milton, GA with her parents and older brother, Justin.  A self-proclaimed “foodie”, Jasmine enjoys trying and creating new recipes whenever she has an opportunity.  She is an entrepreneur who has started her own company focused on girl empowerment and motivational speaking.  As a part of that effort, she created the hashtag, theme, and slogan of “Let Your Inner Girl Slay” which is designed to encourage young girls to be confident and not fear pursuing their inner dreams and hopes.  This is a message Jasmine promotes daily.  At school, Jasmine plans to cheer, be an active member of the student council, and recreate her afterschool program focused on entrepreneurship and leadership.  She is a member of the dance company at the Renaissance International School of Performing Arts (RISPA), where she trains and competes on a regional level.  In her spare time, Jasmine is a typical teen who enjoys cooking, shopping, fashion, dancing, reading, sports, and hanging with her friends.
