Fast forward to today, amid the time of the show’s second season, there have been talks about her leaving NCIS. So, what is the truth behind it? Let us tell you this and more about the American actress in this writing called ‘Yasmine Al-Bustami Bio’.

What Is Yasmine Al-Bustami Ethnicity?

Yasmine Al-Bustami was born in Abu Dhabi to a Palestinian-Jordanian father and a Filipina mother. But, she moved to Texas at a young age, where she struggled to embrace her identity, surrounded by people she did not understand her heritage.

Who Are Yasmine Al-Bustami Parents?

Looking back Yasmine Al-Bustami believes that her parents did it so beautifully, raising her. Yes, she recalls the bumps in the road. But, she also values her parents all the more for the efforts they made. One time, they even thought of shipping her to Jordan because they were concerned that she was becoming far too “Americanized” for their liking.

Yasmine’s parents sent her to live in Jordan when she was but soon realized that it would not make a bit of difference because the damage was already done as she was by then already a real Texan at heart.

Looking back, Yasmine said she and her sister only appreciate their parents so much more as an adult. She explained that they now know more than ever about how their parents faced their struggles and approached them together in a place that is neither of their homes.

Yasmine Al-Bustami Faith

Yasmine has never been this prouder to be Arab. Because growing up she always tried “really hard” to just fit in and just be “a white person”. Yasmine also has been open about the turmoil this caused at her home, especially with her father, who, in her words, is very big on culture, very old-school, and would just not allow me to do some things.

Yasmine told ARAB NEWS how her father worked to instill in her the cultural and religious values that he held so dear. As for Yasmine, it was a mission she rebelled against. 

Even when Yasmine went to her father to tell him she wanted to be an actor, he was against the idea, which pushed them even further apart.

Today, being surrounded by other Arabs and Arab-Americans and upon hearing their stories and their journeys, she is openly very proud of her heritage and culture. She even maybe embraced the Islamic faith. But, of course, we have also heard her talk about growing up in a multi-religious household.
