You can catch her stand-up comedy on TikTok (100k+ followers) and her comedic skits on IG (@yasminelhahahady). She’s also been featured on TEDx, NPR, The Washington Post, and in Vice Media’s book “Little America: Incredible True Stories of Immigrants in America,” which was later turned into an Apple TV+ series by Kumail Nanjiani.
