Raised in Dimona, Israel, on HaAliya street, she grew up in a small community founded by the African Hebrew Israelites, led by their spiritual leader Ben Ammi Ben-Israel. While attending school, Yoalah juggled acting in Israeli movies, TV shows, commercials, and fashion projects. She graduated high school in 2010 and later pursued a college education in web and graphics design at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California, graduating in 2015.

Currently focused on writing and modeling, Yoalah has recently published her first book, "The Ghost In The Crater," and a horror film titled "The Return Of Soraya M: A Story Of Revenge."
