Brahim was born the eldest of three children in Chartres, France, to a father of Moroccan descent and a Breton mother. She was raised in Bourges. She studied the Swahili language at the Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales, planning on a humanitarian career, as well as theatre at École nationale supérieure des arts et techniques du théâtre.[1]

In 1996, Brahim performed in her first play and continued into the next decade, becoming a boarder and, later, member of Comédie-Française. Her performances onstage include Peer Gynt, Dom Juan, Lucrezia Borgia and Romeo and Juliet.[1][2]

Since 2013, Brahim has been in several films and television shows, leading to her being cast as Major Laurène Weiss in the France 2 thriller Zone Blanche in 2017[1] and Virginie in The Swarm (French: La Nuée) in 2020.[3] She is also a recipient of the Prix Suzanne Bianchetti, given to the most promising young French actress.
