Such sad news. Yasmin was a legend in our industry and an amazing human being.
Rest in peace.
Very sad to hear. I saw her speak at last years Spikes Awards. Very intelligent and talented woman. Rest is peace.
A terrible loss. Yasmin was amazing.
RIP Yasmin. Such a sad loss of a beautiful person.
This was Yasmin’s last post on her blog (July 17th): “I am optimistic and sentimental to the point of being annoying; especially to people who think that being cynical and cold is cool. Everyday, I thank Allah for everyday things like the ability to breathe, the ability to love, the ability to laugh, and the ability to eat and drink.”
I met Yasmin on a Clio jury, a really lovely and talented person. My thoughts go out to her friends and family. That is very sad.
Yasmin. Gone too soon.
