THE FIRST OF MANY (TFOM) is a heart-centered creative agency, production and curation company, and storytelling platform built to honor the people behind the practice. Founded by Jasmine Washington, TFOM exists to celebrate artists, makers, and entrepreneurs not just for what they create—but for the why that drives them.
We work at the intersection of art, community, and care—offering portraiture, podcasting, writing prompts, events, and resource-sharing as tools for reflection, visibility, and collective growth. Every project is rooted in the belief that presence is enough. That you don’t need to perform, prove, or polish yourself to be seen.
At its core, The First of Many is about making space—real, intentional space—for creatives to tell their stories on their own terms. We are here to amplify what often gets overlooked: the process, the people, and the power in simply showing up as you are.
We source our venues with deep care and intention—prioritizing local, underrepresented spaces that are often overlooked yet deeply rooted in community. These are places that deserve to be seen, celebrated, and sustained.
Each activation becomes more than just an event—it’s a creative offering, a collective act of care, and an opportunity to honor the spaces that hold us. It’s also a commitment to reimagining what’s possible when we gather with purpose, creativity, and intention.
We believe space is sacred. And when we gather with intention, we’re not just hosting events—we’re helping sustain legacies.
