Akili Yasmine

For the last 6 years, I have worked as a Fashion Model. I have a deep passion for modeling as a form of creative expression and for using my platform to encourage self love in the beauty industry. I believe that representation matters and it inspires me to know that when young, black and brown girls see me, they see themselves. I mainly shoot commercial, beauty and lifestyle but I also enjoy fashion and editorial projects. I am currently unsigned and independent and have had the opportunity to model in national commercials, on national televison with The Real and I also have work printed in stores and on billboards in major cities. My hobbies include holistic wellness, yoga, and the creative arts. I am based in Atlanta but available to travel to other destinations.

I am 5’6’, I have natural, coily hair with rich skin, which makes me a great model for beauty and lifestyle work. I enjoy working with photographers, directors, and agencies that have clean and creative work. I bring my energy and passion for modeling to every project I work on.
