Cassandra Naud

Cassandra Naud (born 1992) is a queer Canadian actress, dancer, and entrepreneur.

She was born with a large nevus under her right eye. Her parents decided against removing it after doctors informed them the procedure was too risky. She experienced bullying due to the nevus. Despite this experience, she cites the nevus as a positive trait that gives her more exposure and makes her more memorable.

Naud started dancing at the age of five. She attended the Bachelor of Fine Arts program for dance and theater at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in Los Angeles, and graduated in 2014.

In April 2015, Naud became prominent after her story was published in the Daily Mail. The resulting exposure helped her to book the music video for Leona Lewis's single "Fire Under My Feet".

Naud starred as CW in the 2022 horror film Influencer. The film received positive reviews from critics, praising Naud's performance.

Alongside her acting career Cassandra co-Founded Somedays. A queer owned mission driven brand helping people manage menstrual pain through innovative products, health literacy and community advocacy. They've made their mark with their viral campaign entitled "People Have Periods" which celebrates queer and trans folks by including them in everything Somedays.

Inclusion is something that Cassandra is passionate about. Having faced adversity herself she fully understands the power of media and the important part it plays in today's society. The narrative around "beauty" has changed drastically these past few years, and she feels unbelievably lucky to be a part of it.
