Her childhood fascination with fashion ignited her interest to pursue modelling and designing at age 12. While modelling gained the young island beauty tremendous notoriety locally and internationally, there was much greater notoriety surrounding her publicly stemming from Yassin’s mother’s battle and unfortunate demise living with schizophrenia. After witnessing her mother suffer a mental breakdown before her childhood eyes, almost losing her young life by the hands of the very person that was supposed to love, nurture and protect her. She was raised by her maternal grandmother and paternal uncle while bearing the public shame and stigma of her mother’s mental illness. A huge burden and obstacle that could’ve easily derailed her will to persevere and fight towards the destiny that she credits God with ordaining. Her story is one of turmoil and redemption that has propelled her to champion the cause of mental illness and embrace her staple messaging “It’s okay to not be okay”.
