Tajay (T.J.) Ashmeade

I am a proud Jamaican-born woman from The Bronx, NY. A former professional athlete, turned professor, founder, and CEO. Once placed in special education, I now see my ADD as my superpower. I lead Nurture SPRT, an AI-powered platform designed for all athletes, with a focus on helping marginalized student-athletes access scholarships.

Every experience and obstacle has shaped me into the leader I am today. My passion for helping athletes and professionals reach their full potential has led me into public speaking and team development.
