In this issue, we chat to Dana Zubari, Co-Founder of Tru Active Sportswear, founder of Lettuce Run and Co-Captain of Cycling Bees. Her energy, innovation and influence are inspiring!
How would you describe yourself?
I’m a confident extrovert who absolutely loves life! I always see the glass as half full no matter what I come across and I never take the victim mentality. I absolutely hate ‘why me?’ personalities or moaners. I feel when life hands you hard times you just get on with it.
What was your favourite band or musician growing up?
So relevant! Backstreet Boys were my favourite band in highschool! I never thought that one day I would see them live in concert, it’s like a dream come true!
Diamonds or pearls?
Do I have to choose? I love both so why discriminate! I am a sucker for diamonds and I love wearing them on all occasions; same with my pearls! I feel everyday of your life is a special occasion, so enjoy what you have rather than saving it for that one time that it comes out of the safe for you to wear it!
Three things you don’t leave your house without?
Mobile phone, wallet, lipstick
What would you save if your house was on fire?
My family first, including the animals. Second would be my photos, specifically the old ones.
Your dream holiday destination?
Beach resorts are always my favourite. My dream is to go to Bora Bora.
What’s the most random thing in your purse right now?
Garbage! I don’t know why, but I always end up with random receipts in there.
What’s a quote that never fails to inspire you?
“You do you!” I know it’s not deep but I live by it. I do what makes me feel happy. I have never cared what people’s opinions of me are and I feel that’s why I’m living my best life and thriving.
What’s your favourite movie?
If I could sit through a movie and finish it I would have an answer to this. If I had to choose I’d go back to my youth and say Clueless. I loved the whole pop culture that was built after the movie came out.
