Asexuality campaigner Yasmin Benoit on goth girls, representation and the male gaze.

Say the letters, do the thing! Asexuality campaigner Yasmin Benoit on goth girls, representation and the male gaze.

Yasmin Benoit is a leading model, award-winning asexual activist and equality campaigner. Through her work, she aims to diversify the fashion industry and raise awareness for those who identify as aromantic and asexual. As a speaker, Yasmin discusses Asexuality, Aromanticism, intersectionality, Black British experiences in education and the fashion industry.

She became a model at the age of 18 and has constantly demonstrated her passion for diversifying the modelling industry. In 2017 she publicly came out as aromantic-asexual and ever since has been a voice for those who identify in that way, bringing their experiences into the public eye. Working to tackle misconceptions and fight for social change, she launched the popular #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike. This movement has been embraced by asexual people worldwide and looks to demonstrate that asexual people can dress and look any way they want.
