Selima Smith-Dell is a BIPOC queer actress, model, fashionista, creator, and tea lover. She was born in the peach state, Atlanta, Georgia but raised in the education mecca, Cambridge, Massachusetts. She made a long pit stop in bustling New York and even resided in pasta loving Italy for six glorious months. She resides in sunny Los Angeles.
Selima has the warmest, most welcoming smile. So it comes as no surprise that 2024 has proved to be the year of commercials for her. She has played supporting and lead roles in commercials for Coca Cola x USA Soccer, Taco Bell, Fortnite, and her personal favorite Lemonade Insurance. In past years you may have seen her in commercials for Olay, Visible, Verizon, and Toyota. Her hands have also had their own illustrious career being featured in Chipotle and VistaPrint national TV ads.
But Selima's career goes back many years beginning at the tender age of 8. Her earlier acting years were sprinkled with performances in many of Shakespeare's classic plays. It was this start in the theater that gave her an absolute adoration for the theater. It was this love that later led her to enroll in Boston University's renowned conservatory theater program where she earned her BFA in Acting. During her time at Boston University she took 6 months to study Commedia dell'Arte in the breathtaking countryside of Tuscany, Italy. Since then she has gone on to perform in the Boston, New York and Los Angeles markets. She has done theater at Broadway's The Duke Theater and Playwright's Horizon. She has been featured in magazines including Allure Magazine and Dark Beauty Magazine. She has been in TV and Film work that has aired on CBS, Investigation Discovery, CNN, NBC, WGBH, Amazon, and Youtube.
In addition to all her acting work she has also grown her presence in the fashion world. She began fashion blogging back in 2016 and since the birth of her blog has been honored to attend New York Fashion Week as an invited guest amongst New York's fashion elites including America's Next Top Model judges Miss Jay Alexander, Nigel Barker, and the late great Andre Leon and entertainment icons like Kelly Osbourne and Spike Lee for over three fashion week seasons. She has collaborated with numerous brands and shot with dozens of photographers.
In her free time you can find her taking yoga, HIIT or pilates classes. She's a bit of a fitness girly! She also enjoys moments by the beach, painting, dancing, nature bathing hot girl walks, horse back riding, taking in art at art galleries, catching a theater show or movie, and strengthening her Spanish and Italian speaking skills on Duolingo.
