Hello, thanks for visiting my page. I am a model, actress, writer, social entrepreneur, philanthropist, founder of the EMPOWER Institute, and founder of Beauty, Brains and Beyond (http://www.BeautyBrainsAndBeyond.com). I'm currently living in Los Angeles, but I'm originally from East Africa. I have been modeling on and off for the last few years while going to school. I graduated in 2008 from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and have degrees in Languages and Literature, International Development Studies, and English. Now I'm working, enjoying life, and doing what I love!

I am determined to get to the top! I desire success, but not at the cost of losing my dignity, stepping on others, or forgetting who I am and where I came from! I have respect for myself and others, and I expect to be treated with respect as well.

I absolutely love the wonderful experience of meeting and working with talented people from all walks of life! I love to travel the world and learn about different cultures! I love fashion! I love being in front of the camera! I love all forms of artistic expression! For me, modeling and acting is an art form in which I get to be something, someone or some concept that I’m not traditionally, and that excites me! That experience is what I love. For me, this is not a hobby or a job on the side... it is my passion, my dream, my focus… this is my career and I am serious about it. Therefore, I am looking to meet and work with like-minded professionals who can help me reach my goals. 

I am fun and easy to work. I do love music, but I can work just as well without it. I don't smoke or drink. I am on a natural high!

Life is not a destination. Life is a journey and I am here to enjoy the ride, to learn from all of my experiences, and to keep getting better every day!

NOTE: Based on the direction that I want my career to go, I am NOT interested in any nude work... at all. So please don’t waste your time or mine by contacting me about any work that involves nudity. Thanks!



Please note the following:

*My priority is PAID assignments, but I will consider TFP/CD if I feel that the project will benefit my portfolio and career. I will accept TFP/CD under the following conditions:
-if the project involves tear sheets, lots of exposure and/or will lead to paid work
-if it is something creative, different and/or lacking in my portfolio
-if you are an outstanding photographer, hairstylist, MUA, or wardrobe stylist whom I consistently work with or desire to work with
-if it is a very cool concept and hair, make-up, and wardrobe stylists are being provided
*I don't mind traveling, as long as EXPENSES ARE PAID

Thanks for taking the time to read about me, my interests, and aspirations. And thank you in advance for all your tags, photo comments, messages, etc. I'm sorry if I don't get back to you right away. I try to return the love whenever possible but I am not always able to do that as I have a very busy schedule.

I wish you all much happiness, success, peace, love, prosperity, and good health!!! =]



You are welcome to ask me for references. Some of the people that I have worked with are on MM and if you are curious to know what it was like to work with me, I'm sure they'd be glad to tell you

Here are comments from some of them:

I know I'm supposed to list my credits here, but it's too long of a list. If you want to see my credits/resume, I'd be happy to e-mail it to you if you ask

Meanwhile, I'll just use this space to give credit/thanks to GOD for always blessing me, to my family, friends and fans for their continued love and support, and to all the amazingly talented people that I have had the great fortune to work with and continue to work with (photographers, designers, stylists, MUA's, models, actors, producers, directors, etc.) Y'all know who you are!

Much love and many blessings,

Nasim
