Yara Shahidi is celebrating her 26th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.
Popular actress-model Yara Shahidi (Black-ish, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 26th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.
Shahidi, a cultural icon
Born Yara Sayeh Shahidi in Minneapolis on February 10, 2000, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Shahidi's not just a great actress, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Yara hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Yara Shahidi as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 26.
Happy Birthday, Yara, you're the best!
