“I grew up watching the women on that stage and dreaming of becoming one of them,” said Farshad. “But being there as an Iranian woman, representing those who are still silenced — that was my real honor.” Known for her fearless elegance and advocacy, Farshad has been recognized for using her
platform to amplify Iranian voices on global stages, merging fashion, film, and activism into one
powerful narrative. Her message of resilience and liberation has made her a rising voice among
Middle Eastern women in Hollywood.
Beyond her activism, Jewell Farshad is also set to make her mark in acting — with an upcoming
role in HBO’s Euphoria2026 season, where her character will speak Farsi, marking a milestone
for Persian representation in American television.
“As an Iranian-American actress, I’ve had to fight hard to move beyond the narrow
stereotypes written for Middle Eastern women,” Farshad added. “Every role I take,
every appearance I make, is a chance to rewrite that narrative — not just for myself,
but for the women who never got that chance.”
Jewell’s advocacy extends to her creative work, including her original short film Operation World
Peace — a stylized, cinematic fable told through AI-generated visuals — and her music, which
fuses French, Persian, and English in anthems of feminine power and cultural pride.
