63-Year Old International Model, Yazemeenah Rossi, Epitomizes Grace, Authenticity, and Timeless Beauty
I first discovered Yazemeenah Rossi while on Instagram and immediately said out loud to myself, "WOW...what a STUNNING woman!" And it wasn't just because of the way she looked, but also (and even more so) about the energy she exuded. I could literally see a bright light shinning from within her.
After perusing her Instagram feed I visited her website, where I found a plethora of information about her background, her work, her outlook on life and aging, and her social entrepreneurship. She lives a very active and diverse life.
She was born in 1955, the same year I was born. Therefore, we're exactly the same age (63). And it's ironic too, because after reading about her and then listening to her speak in several interviews, I realized that she and I share the same outlook about life and aging.
We both enjoy living different lives within the same life.
We not only accept age, but we celebrate it because we view it as something that's attractive and valuable.
And we also share a mutual love of photography that began when we were children.

I took this quote from an interview I read on the website Ageist, in which she shared this:
“When I was a child, my parents said I was stubborn because I knew what I wanted and what I didn’t want,” she says. “I’ve always been like that. I’ve always been in touch with my intuition.”
Sounds just like me when I was a child.

Interesting Things About Yazemeenah:
Originally from Corsica, she now lives in Malibu, California.
She started her modeling career in France at age 30, which is normally the age of retirement for modeling. She became a model for The Ford Modeling Agency in New York City.
She was one of the first models with silver hair.
Since childhood, her first love has always been photography.
She is also a professional film actress.
Her Vision
She likes being real with her body and her work.
And that’s why she accepts her hair and wrinkles, because they are witnesses to a rich and intense way of life.
She grew up in nature, and has always adopted a way of life that is very balanced, healthy, spiritual, and in tune with nature.
She's been practicing Yoga for over 30 years.
Her Work
In 2000, she started taking her first self-portraits in New York, because it frustrated her not to recognize herself in some of the retouched photos in her professional portfolio.
This hobby has become a work in its own right.
As a model (photo and video), she is often, both in front of and behind the lens for different brands leading styling and artistic direction.
As a photographer, she prefers working in natural outdoor light, when possible.
Social Entrepreneur
As an artist not only visual but also manual, she appreciates and values the work of artisans.
She promotes and shares their work with the world in a social entrepreneurship with Nepal using her talents as model and photographer to create beautiful visuals of their wearable art pieces.
As all of you know from reading my blog these many years, I greatly admire, respect and adore women, because women contribute so much to this world. And without them, this world would be a very boring place.
So, when I have an opportunity to celebrate women, I will.
Today, I would like to celebrate Yazemeenah Rossi. An inspiring role model who, in my eyes, epitomizes grace, authenticity, and timeless beauty.
Please enjoy. And notice how comfortable and free she is in her own skin...
