Jasmine Minor
Minor joins ABC 7 from WISH-TV in Indianapolis, Indiana, where she served as an investigative reporter and anchor. Throughout her career, her stories ranged from digging into local issues that impacted the community to national coverage at the White House. Some of her past work has shed light on survivors of human and sex trafficking and the racism and lingering trauma that professional Black athletes endure on and off the field.
Minor was also honored with a prestigious fellowship with The Pew Research Center where she acted as a juvenile justice fellow.
Her work has been singled out with a National Association of Black Journalists National Salute to Excellence Award, nine Emmy nominations, two Emmy Awards, and many other honors.
As a former NCAA Division 1 tennis player, Minor recently co-founded the Kevin Minor Legacy Fund in memory of her father, an annual $5,000 tennis scholarship given to a young girl in the Midwest. Minor was inducted into Carmel Catholic High School's "Hall of Fame" for her tennis achievement as the top tennis player in the state of Illinois during her high school years there.
She received her master's in broadcast journalism from Northwestern University, Medill School of Journalism.
