We had the good fortune of connecting with Jazmin Jett and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jazmin, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
B.W. Country Club was conceived back in 2020 but came to life over the course of a few years.

Initially, I had looked up a bath tea recipe for my then one year old. I wanted something organic that could help calm her. I then got the idea to make the teas with perfume and sell them on Etsy. I foresaw myself adding on loungewear and creating a brand centered around wellness.

As time passed & the vision of the brand evolved it became really important to me to not only sell products but to stand for something that womyn of color could connect to.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I’d like for the public to know that my brand caters to highly sensitive womyn of color & seeks to facilitate spaces that honor their delicate nature.

I jokingly refer to BWCC as an (anti)social club as the activations that I have planned are mostly centered around connecting through parallel play.

Growing up, I rarely felt safe in my own body and felt out of place everywhere I went. This of course manifested into my experiences as an adult. The discomfort, the distrust, the scarcity, it all converged into a clusterf*ck of experiences that demanded I surrender. Healing from the inside out is what gave birth to the ethos of the brand: that slowing down to reconnect mentally, emotionally & physically felt luxurious.

Enter, B.W. Country Club, a platform that provides advocacy and safe spaces where womyn of color feel seen & supported as they navigate a journey to a slower, softer lifestyle.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
My first job in Houston was at CAMH (Contemporary Art Museum Houston) so it will forever be one of my first stops. The exhibits are always so good — provocative, informative and captivating. There’s other galleries & museums nearby, there’d be plenty to do.

Another day we’d stop for coffee at at Citizens. Cottage Shop is right next door. It’s one of my favorite places to thrift, they always have good deals. We could also hit B.B.’s Cafe across the street. The shrimp n grits hit every time.

Mix in some visits to flower shops & record stores too. Are you also down to casually stop into a chandelier store?

For nightlife there’s Bald P*ssy or this super cool speakeasy downtown that features a record store in front and club in the back. I also want to check out Plume & Sophie’s.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
First & foremost, I’d like to give a shout out to my daughter Pharaoh. She is the most remarkable specimen I’ve ever encountered & I wouldn’t have ever known love, joy or freedom without her.

I’d also like to recognize Jaycina Almond of the Tender Foundation. She is quite literally a Godsend and provided resources for my daughter & I the entire time we lived in Atlanta.
