Episode Synopsis

I am back with Episode 5 of the Legacy Brunch Club podcast. In this episode, I chat with Suva Beauty's CEO Shaina Azad about how she created her company out of her backpack.

Shaina shares her story from Canada to Egypt and back; as well as her multi-passionate career, touching on her work as an educator, advocate, artist and journalist before she blossomed as an mega entrepreneur.

SUVA Beauty is best known for bright, bold and innovative cosmetics. From being featured in Allure magazine to the Hollywood sets of Euphoria, SUVA Beauty products, especially their Hydraliner TM can be spotted on celebrities and artists globally. From Doja Cat to Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, celebrities are being spotted with SUVA Beauty products. Shaina was also a film and tv make up artist before she dove into growing SUVA Beauty full-time, even styling Canadian soccer icon Christine Sinclair.

Born and raised in beautiful British Columbia, Shaina shares her story of how she created the brand best known for making rainbows jealous. Her brand is named SUVA, after the capital of Fiji, where her parents are from. The cosmetics brand's bright and cheerful shades are often inspired from Shaina's life, including shades found around the Fiji islands.
