Meskini became known for her role as Sana Bakkoush from
Julie Andem's teen web series's
Skam, which is broadcast on
NRK. Her character status was recurring from seasons 1–3, then later turned to lead in season 4.
Reception Since her first appearance on
Skam, and especially since the show's fourth season, in which she served as the primary lead, Sana has gathered a large number of fans. In addition to Sana's popularity, Meskini has been praised for her portrayal of the character and her representation of Muslim youth within Western societies, but especially female Muslim teenagers living in Norway. Sana's appearance and portrayal on a show as popular as
Skam at a time which saw a rise in Islamophobia across the globe was marked by many as essential in challenging stereotypes of hijab-wearing Muslim women and provided non-Muslim Norwegians with an alternative representation of their Muslim neighbours. ==Other projects==
