I’m very happy to write about Dara because she symbolizes a woman who has overcome many obstacles in her life and serves as an inspiration to other women.

My first meeting with Dara was at a social event in Monte Carlo. I saw a young, beautiful woman, smiling at everyone, giving a wonderful sense of belonging and warmth to everyone, and personally she gave me a lot of confidence. It was the first time I met the people, and I felt a little shy and excited because they were all very important and famous people. However, as soon as she sat next to me and we started talking, it was as if all the barriers fell and she made me feel seen. Seeing into my heart, into my soul, just as I saw her.

We met at a time when the countries we live in are in a state of war; she is from Ukraine and I am from Israel, so we immediately had a connection. It was amazing because it happened within minutes, and we opened up to each other in a short time.

I saw in her eyes her pain, her longing for her parents' home, for a family where childhood memories were wonderful. A supportive family, high-level studies, sports clubs, a successful father, a family that lacked nothing. Dara looks very beautiful, but beyond beauty she has a noble soul and strong intuition. Her ability to engage in conversation with anyone, to laugh with them, and to make them feel good is a wonder to me.

Dara, what do you think about current economic situation?

Dara; ”‏During the war, everthing fell apart. Family, career, I lost many friends in the war. No one can understand what it does to the soul, and I do not wish anyone to reach this state. I had everything, and in one moment, I lost everything. I had to start everything from scratch.

‏People withdrew into themselves. Each to their own. You have no one to talk to, no one to rely on. There is no listening ear. Overwhelming sense of loneliness. Fear takes over you, and there is no desire for anything.

‏Every day feels like a struggle, a battle within myself. The pain and trauma from the war linger in my mind, making it hard to find peace. The nightmares haunt me at night, and the memories of lost loved ones weigh heavy on my heart. I try to keep going, to find some semblance of normalcy, but the darkness seems to envelop me at every turn. I long for the day when I can feel whole again, when the scars of war no longer define me.

‏The only thing that strengthened me the most is the prayers that I pray every day to God. I don't know if I could have endured without the strong faith that He watches over me. The hour of the day when I close everything and isolate myself with the creator of the world always gave me the feeling that everything will be okay, that nothing will remain like this forever, that it is just something that will pass."

And despite everything, you gathered yourself and started from the beginning. What do you think is the most important skill for business success?

Dara; "I call it a rock and roll attitude. I wake up at six in the morning, exercise because my body is important to me. It pumps blood to the brain, and during exercise, I sharpen the things I want to achieve in life. It focuses me. After the workout, I go to the office, I have employees, and sometimes we work until three in the morning. It's a rock and roll attitude. To have a lot of energy, perseverance, and, of course, self-belief. You don't need money to start, it's good to have, but as everyone knows, many billionaires started from scratch. I have read autobiographies of successful people, and what connects them is a focus on the goal, determination, persistence, and self-belief.

Success in business requires a combination of various skills, but one of the most crucial skills is adaptability. In a rapidly changing business environment, being able to adapt to new situations, technologies, and market trends is essential. Additionally, effective communication, strategic thinking, and the ability to take calculated risks are also key components of achieving success in the business world.”

Why do you think people strive for economic success in life?

Dara; "The common thread for everyone is 'love'. The desire to provide for our children's needs, to offer love to those who are in need, and to afford ourselves the chance to revel in the beauty of nature. Each individual has their own passions, and success not only enables us to realize our potential but also allows us to indulge in the things we cherish most."

‏What is your biggest dream beyond success in your new clothing business ״Qin” and economic fields?

Dara; "To start a family and having a baby."

People from all over the world fall in love with her, and she is able to convey optimism and love to everyone she meets. Dara has a unique ability to connect with people on a deep level, making them feel understood and valued. She exudes a sense of grace and compassion that is truly inspiring.

Despite facing challenges in her own life, Dara remains resilient and positive, always looking for the silver lining in every situation. She is a beacon of light for those around her, offering support, guidance, and a listening ear to anyone in need.

Dara's impact goes beyond just those who know her personally. Through her actions and words, she spreads a message of kindness, strength, and empowerment to women everywhere. She is a true role model, showing that with determination and a compassionate heart, anything is possible.

In a world full of chaos and uncertainty, Dara stands out as a shining example of grace, resilience, and love. Her presence is a gift to all who have the privilege of knowing her.
