YASMINE BENOIT

Yasmin Benoit is a British model, multi-award-winning asexual activist, writer, speaker, consultant and researcher. Described as the "unlikely face of asexuality" by Cosmopolitan Magazine, she quickly became a leading voice for the community after publicly coming out in 2017.

She started the #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike movement for diverse asexual visibility and representation and co-founded International Asexuality Day (April 6). She won 'Campaigner of the Year' at the Rainbow Honours Awards in 2022, was the first asexual grand marshal at NYC Pride 2023, and the first asexual person to lead Pride in London. She recently released a groundbreaking report into asexual experiences and discrimination in partnership with Stonewall, as part of the UK's first asexual rights initiative.

Her work has been published throughout British and international press, including British Vogue, Vogue Greece, Paper Magazine, Glamour Magazine, Sky News, the BBC and NBC News.
