English Model, Award-Winning Asexual Activist & Researcher; Writer, Speaker & Project Consultant
Yasmin Benoit Biography
Yasmin Benoit is a British model, multi-award-winning asexual activist, writer, speaker and researcher. She gained a platform through her modeling, appearing in publications like Vogue Greece and i-D Magazine, walking in London Fashion Week and modeling for brands like Mercedes-AMG and Benefit Cosmetics. After publicly coming out as asexual to a wave of media interest, she was described as the “unlikely face of asexuality” by Cosmopolitan Magazine and quickly became a leading voice for the ever-growing asexual community worldwide. She created the #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike movement for diverse asexual representation and visibility, co-founded International Asexuality Day (April 6th), and has been a key part of many of the asexual community’s ‘firsts.’
She was the first asexual grand marshal at NYC Pride, the first asexual activist to win a British LGBT Award (2025), an Attitude Pride Award (2021) and a Rainbow Honours Award (2023), the first asexual to lead Pride in London, and to appear on a mainstream British magazine cover. Her global appeal has taken her to the US, the Czech Republic, Romania, Serbia, Poland, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland and Sweden, speaking at conferences, at corporations and appearing at Pride events. Yasmin has also appeared in documentaries for the BBC, Sky News, ZDF, and across British and international press for her work. Incorporating asexual awareness into her modelling campaigns, she has made headlines for her work with brands like Budweiser, Ann Summers and Schuh.
Outside of modeling and activism, Benoit has a background in social scene, obtaining an MSc Crime Science degree from UCL in 2019. In 2023, she launched the Stonewall x Yasmin Benoit Ace Project - the UK’s first asexual rights initiative in partnership with Stonewall, and released a groundbreaking report into asexual discrimination in healthcare and the workplace. The paper was covered by the likes of Forbes, Scientific American and ITV, and has been used to inform government policy for Labour and the Liberal Democrats LGBT+ Agenda. After its release, Benoit received a Visiting Research Fellow position at King’s College London’s Policy Institute, where she continues conducting research into asexuality and released her first paper with them in early 2025. Since then, she has released papers with the Human Rights Campaign and Outright International.
In 2026, her work took her to the United Nations in Geneva, where she was invited to speak about asexuality to diplomats from different member states. Confident both in front of the camera and behind the scenes, Benoit has also stepped into the world of consulting, and worked with Netflix on the final season of "Sex Education" as a writer and consultant, and was a judge at the Diversity in Advertising Awards with Channel 4. As a speaker, Benoit has spoken at a range of companies, including Google, Amazon, Linklaters, Deliveroo, Bloomberg, Nomura, Lloyds Banking Group, and Bumble, as well as at conferences like the LGBT Health Conference, the International Human Rights Conference, the LGBT Police Conference and at universities like the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, and even giving a TEDx Talk at the University of Arkansas.
