JEWELL FARSHAD is a Persian-born actress, model, and singer whose career embodies resilience, elegance, and fearless artistry. Born and raised in Iran, she dreamt of a world where women could model and act freely. In her late teens, she won the U.S. green card lottery and moved alone across the Atlantic to pursue that dream - not just for herself, but as a voice for a new generation of brave Iranian women.

She began performing as a child, appearing in all-female theater productions under Iran's restrictions, before launching her professional career in Los Angeles in 2017. That same year, she was crowned Miss Bel Air and later Ms. California USA, setting the stage for her work across film, fashion, and music.

Her on-screen credits include the hit Persian music video "Gentleman" by Sasy (40M+ views), which ignited a feminist movement among Iranian schoolgirls so powerful it led the country's Minister of Education to ban the song. She has since walked Miami Swim Week and New York Fashion Week, and appeared on the red carpets of Cannes and the Venice Film Festival, where her fusion of Persian glamour and cinematic storytelling has drawn global recognition.

Farshad continues to use her platform as art-activism, amplifying the voices of women silenced under oppression while building a rising profile that bridges Hollywood, high fashion, and cultural change.
