My name is Jasmine Myers, Creator of The Counterweights and one thing I've always loved doing is inspiring people to be greater than they think they can be. 

​

I've seen people dream and think of incredible things until something in life tells them that its a waste of time.

​

As I went on my own journey of life and met different people, I kept thinking there had to be more to life than just keeping our dreams in a box.

That's when I realized that we have underestimated the power of dreams. Dreams are what give us purpose and its dreams that will continue to transform our world for the better. 

​

There is more to this life. And part of it lies within the power of dreams. Another part is being around people who believe and encourage you to make those dreams a reality. 

​

I created The Counterweights because I realized I'm not alone, all around me there are young people ready, waiting to change the world. All I want to do is inspire and guide them to a life that has more.

Fun fact: You'll be hard pressed to find someone who is a bigger nerd on all things related China. I've lived in China for a couple months here and there over the years. It 
was actually when I was abroad in Fall 2019, that I began the Counterweights.
