Yasmine Aker is a force of nature.
She's a wonderful, talented, and inspiring woman who is out to change the world onscreen and off.
While many know her as Angelica, Malika's supportive but no-nonsense girlfriend on Freeform's Good Trouble, she's also a noteworthy activist and advocate who doesn't seem to take a day off. She doesn't just star in Good Trouble; she lives it.
Yasmine is as passionate about her craft as she is about advocating for Iranian, human, and women's rights and destigmatizing mental illness and neurodivergency.
TV Fanatic had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Yasmine about her role as Angelica on Good Trouble and all her amazing work and what drives her to do it. Check out our compelling interview with this lovely actress!

Before you tune in for the return of the “FBI” franchise on CBS on Tuesday, Sept. 20, here’s a short overview of the biggest things that happened on each series last season. The three shows crossed over in their respective season premieres to launch the third “FBI” show, “FBI: International,” which is set in Budapest, Hungary.
