Sewing clothes at home, designing interiors, and raising her children, Yazemeenah Rossi never planned to fit into anyone’s idea of what a model should be. Yet her striking presence and silver hair began appearing on magazine covers across the world, quietly rewriting what beauty could look like.She has never surrendered to the pressure of cosmetic surgery, insisting instead on a simple ritual of oils, whole foods, and radical self-acceptance.
