Her family tree bears olives.
GINA DIRAWI
OLIVE FOREVER
Instead of relying on the artificial intelligence of GPTs, perhaps we should listen more often to the other GPT: Grandparents Talking. In her native Sweden, Gina Dirawi is a successful multitalent, from pop star to author. For her latest project, beauty brand Zëiyt, Gina is turning to her grandmother’s wisdom. For generations, the family’s Palestinian roots have been intertwined with the power of the olive tree: the oil used in Zëiyt’s products comes from trees in the West Bank, some of them more than 3,000 years old.
