Samirah is a dynamic force – a model, actress, and tireless social activist. Her fervent advocacy for women’s rights catapulted her online presence when a viral debate video garnered over 27 million views, resonating as a rallying cry for change-makers worldwide and firmly establishing her as an internet luminary. With over 400K followers on TikTok and 300K+ on Instagram, her influence extends beyond her own platforms, walking runways, taking over social media accounts for Harper’s Bazaar and Maison Margiela, and being recognized as one of the Dazed100 creators who are shaping youth culture.

Samirah’s client list includes Nike, Spotify, and Saie Beauty. Amongst her many collaborations, Samirah partnered with sustainable fashion brand CHNGE to create a capsule collection. Beyond designing each piece, Samirah also served as Creative Director and Producer for the campaign. Passionate about collaborating with brands that align with her values of inclusivity, sustainability, and women’s rights, Samirah made it a priority to give back. A portion of every piece sold was donated to the Lower Eastside Girls Club, supporting opportunities for young women and gender-expanding youth in NYC. The attention of the collection got it picked up by Urban Outfitters, where it quickly sold out. Samirah is also the creative force behind “Samirah Says,” a self-produced digital series confronting topics such as body positivity, mental health, and unity. She has also supported Yellowhammer Fund as well as arts & education programs at AGC in Los Angeles.
