Информация

Yasmine Al Massri is an international actress and human rights activist, at the forefront of cinema and TV, breaking stereotypes and advocating for underrepresented stories. Born and raised in Lebanon to a Palestinian father and Egyptian mother she moved to Paris at the age of 20 to study. Currently, Yasmine lives and works between Los Angeles, Paris and Beirut. 

Yasmine is leading the way for women by breaking the traditional representation of Arab female characters on TV or in Film. She is the first Middle Eastern actress to star in critically acclaimed award-winning films Caramel, Pomegranates and Myrrh, and Miral.

Yasmine made history as the first Middle Eastern actress to star in ABC & Disney’s hit show Quantico, playing a dual role of Arab American FBI agents Nima and Reina Ameen. Yasmine also starred in   NBC's Crossbones as ''Selima El Sharad'', the muse and trusted confidant to Blackheart. She has also voiced the first Middle East vampire on Netflix's top animation show Castlevania. 

Uncensored Narratives was created by Yasmine out of a desire to develop content that can break through the cliches of representation of Arab women and Arab culture in Hollywood. Inspired by Phoebe Waller Bridge and Issa Rae, Yasmine aims to develop, adapt, empower and disrupt the feminine narrative.
