Yasmine “Yas” Smith is what real community leadership looks like.
An attorney and founder of Abundance Law PLLC, Vice President of Justice and Advocacy at the Austin Urban League, a Public Safety Commissioner in Austin, and above all, a servant of the people.
From feeding folks on the streets as a child to now answering every call with “how may I serve you?” her work shows up where it matters most: supporting unhoused neighbors, single mothers and families navigating crisis.
In a time of growing injustice, she reminds us what it means to stand with community, push for change, and get into “good trouble.”
Austin, Texas voices like hers continue to lead with purpose, compassion, and action.
