Living Loudly, Healing Boldly, and Blooming in Full Color

In a world that often values quiet resilience and polished perfection, Yasmine Yousri stands as a defiant force of raw honesty, vibrant self-expression, and unapologetic femininity. A three-time Stage 4 cancer survivor, Yasmine has transformed her life into a living artwork, one that celebrates healing, fashion, mental health, and the complex, beautiful journey of aging with grace and fire.
In this exclusive interview with Magnav, Yasmine opened up about what it means to truly survive, to thrive, and to show up as your whole self: no edits, no filters, just truth wrapped in color, courage, and creativity.
Cancer, she says, didn’t just challenge her body. It stripped life down to its essence. “It taught me that every day is a second chance, not just to live, but to live loudly, boldly, unapologetically,” Yasmine shared. Fashion, for her, became more than clothes. It became a statement of life. Where many see vulnerability, she sees freedom. Dressing up is her daily reminder to the world and to herself that she’s still here, and she’s going to shine.
Her bold, maximalist fashion sense is not merely aesthetic. It is resistance. “Maximalism is my rebellion against silence, invisibility, and ‘fitting in.’ Every color I wear tells a story of survival,” she explains. Yasmine doesn’t use style to impress others. She uses it to express everything she’s lived through. Her wardrobe is layered like her story: vibrant, complex, imperfect, and alive. “I want to show women that boldness isn’t loud, it’s liberating. That you don’t need to shrink yourself to be seen.”
Her now-iconic hashtag #يلا_نفسح_اللوك (“Let’s take the look out”) is more than a fun phrase. It’s a gentle rebellion. It encourages everyone to embrace the joy of wearing what they love now, not saving it for a special day that may never come. “It’s a love letter to your inner child who played dress-up, to your future self who never wants to ask ‘what if?’” she says. In Yasmine’s world, fashion is therapy in motion, a spark of self-love that ignites self-confidence and mental wellness.
A proud pro-aging advocate, Yasmine is deeply vocal about celebrating every stage of womanhood. She challenges the toxic narratives surrounding aging with the same fierceness she brought to her battle with cancer. “You are not late, you are not behind, and your worth isn’t tied to how few wrinkles you have,” she declares. “Aging is not a flaw, it’s a privilege.” To her, beauty lies not in resisting time, but in honoring what time has taught us. Her message to women everywhere: Stop apologizing for growing older. Celebrate what you’ve grown through.
Yasmine’s storytelling is not just visual, it’s soulful. Whether she’s traveling, creating art, or simply reflecting, she transforms each experience into a form of healing. Portugal, she recalls, became a spiritual turning point. “Its light, its poetry, its pace, it felt like a mirror to the version of me I had long buried.” But it’s not just geography that heals her, it’s expression. Be it sculpture, statement fashion, or poetic prose, art has helped her transform pain into power.


Her Instagram platform is filled with inspiration, but behind every post lies a deep commitment to mental health. Yasmine makes it clear: healing is not linear, and public life doesn’t protect you from private pain. “I protect my peace like it’s sacred, because it is,” she says. From journaling and dancing to being openly vulnerable online, she practices resilience through softness. “When I falter, I remember: I’ve survived things that tried to kill me. That kind of strength doesn’t vanish, it evolves.”
Her legacy, she says, lives in #حياة_بالياسمين (“A Life in Jasmine”), a phrase as poetic as it is powerful. For Yasmine, this isn’t just a personal motto. It’s a movement. A space for women to bloom through adversity and rediscover themselves in the process. “A life ‘in jasmine’ is fragrant with courage, messy with truth, and laced with joy,” she reflects. “It’s not just my story, it’s an invitation to write your own, in color, in strength, and in full bloom.”
She closes with the words of Nizar Qabbani:
“وَيَبقى الياسمينُ أبيضًا، مهما خانَتهُ الفصول.”
“And jasmine remains white, no matter how cruel the seasons become.”
A perfect metaphor for her journey and message: no matter what storms we endure, the essence of who we are, our jasmine, remains.
