She’s an actress and a social media star, who gained recognition with her portrayal of the lead character Amy, in the 2020 drama film “Cuties” (original “Mignonnes”), written and directed by Maïmouna Doucouré, and which also starred Medina El Aidi-Azouni and Esther Gohourou. The film follows the 11-year-old girl Amy who has joined her school’s dance group The Cuties, while she’s also becoming a feminist, which is upsetting her mother; it won three of the nine awards for which it was nominated.

Early life and education
Fathia is being raised in Paris by her parents, about whom nothing’s known, as they prefer to be left out of media; her father’s said to be a dentist, while her mother’s believed to be a nurse. Fathia hasn’t spoken of having any siblings, but it’s said that she’s not an only child.
She became interested in acting at the age of six, mostly because she spent a lot of her spare time watching TV with her family. Although she told her parents about her passion, they believed that it would pass, and didn’t take her seriously. However, Fathia’s passion for acting only grew stronger, and she was 12-years-old when her mother took her to her first audition.
In 2020, she enrolled at a local high school, and joined its drama cub. Fathia is interested in various other things besides acting, including singing, dancing and playing the guitar. She should be matriculating in 2024, and it’s widely assumed that she won’t be pursuing a college degree, but will rather focus on acting.
More about the movie “Cuties”
Fathia’s character Amy is living in one of Paris’ poorest neighborhoods, with her two younger brothers, and are being raised by their mother Mariam, who’s originally from Senegal. Mariam is married to a polygynous man, and she’s waiting for him to return with his second wife. Amy is being raised as a Muslim; her mother dislikes their neighbor Angelica, who’s a member of the dancing group The Cuties, while they often twerk in their dances.
Amy becomes a member of The Cuties, and wanting to become popular at school, she uploads a picture of her vulva onto the internet; this leads to her being kicked out of the dancing group, and being replaced by Yasmine, while her mother also finds out about the picture, and yells at her.
The Cuties eventually reach the finals of a dancing competition organized at Paris’ Parc de la Villette, and to be able to attend it, Fathia pushes Yasmine into a canal, making the dancing group allow her to dance with them during the competition. Fathia starts crying in the middle of her performance, and leaves the stage before the end.
She then stops wearing traditional Muslim clothes, as well as her sexy dancer’s clothes, and chooses to live a normal teenage life.

She finds it very easy to socialize, and has many friends, some of whom can be seen featured in her Instagram pictures. Fathia mostly has female friends, and this has persuaded some of her fans to think that she’s perhaps lesbian, but this hasn’t been confirmed.
