The Girl Boss series aims to highlight the achievements of women just like you and me who are doing amazing things. Hopefully their stories will inspire you as much as they inspire me. This week we chat to Zahra Dada, the digital entrepreneur behind Livalil.
1. Growing up, who did you look up to as your female role model?
Sounds cliché, but definitely my mum. She worked full time but always made the time for her kids and ensured we lived the best childhood with loads of quality time love & attention.
2. What is your definition of "beautiful"?
Beauty for me, shines from within. Someone beautiful radiates kindness, love & gratitude.
3. Which actresses do you think best embody the term #girlboss?
Jessica Alba
Emma Watson
Beyonce
I love celebrities that have pivoted from entertainment to entrepreneurship.
4. Being in the entertainment industry yourself, how do you handle petty girl on girl hate?
It’s a tough one, it’s essential to have a thick skin in the entertainment industry, but love leads to
success so I try to put out positivity no matter what or who tries to dampen this #Livalil party ;)
5. How do you think women could better motivate each other?
Collaboration over competition ;) No one is you and that is your super power!
6. And now, the big question. Do you consider yourself a feminist? Why or why not?
Good question! I believe men and women are equal, but different. We complement each other and we can each embrace our own power.
7. Let's talk about your brand! Tell us a bit more about Livalil? What is your grand vision for it?
Livalil is a digital network that aims to inspire females to live each moment of life more presently and positively. Too often we let insignificant stressors overrule life’s countless blessings. So let’s make the time to Livalil!
Livalil aims to impact people’s lives through social media & content creation by making target audiences aware of relevant, trendy and beneficial ideas, products and services that will enhance
their lives and help them live a fuller better-quality of life.
My grand vision is to leave a legacy by inspiring women worldwide to live their best lives.
8. Tell us a bit more about yourself?
I am a Branding and Business Management graduate from Vega School of Brand Leadership. I have an absolute passion for marketing and have a zest for life! I am enthusiastic and
bubbly. I enjoy being enlightening, engaging and entertaining as an on-camera personality. I have also trained internationally in the USA with renowned Media Coach Marki Costello in
Los Angeles.
9. If you could give your 13 year old self one piece of advice, what would it be?
Be happy to be you, don’t try to be someone you are not just to fit in.
10. Lastly, where can we find you?
