Founded by Zara Grant, Your Love Rara is deeply personal.
Having experienced homelessness at 16 and relocating across the world by 19, Zara knows the power of resilience, mentorship, and opportunity.
Zara is a mermaid
Not many people can say that as an opening line – but for Zara, it’s just one of her many titles.
A qualified swim instructor, she’s spent over eight years teaching both children and adults how to become mermaids. But being a mermaid is only the beginning.
Zara grant is also:
- Qualified Childcare Professional
- Health Issues in Community Tutor
- Children and Teen Yoga Instructor
- PEEP Practitioner
- Diploma in Children’s and Young People Mental Health and Wellbeing
Today, Zara is proud of who she is (fin and all), and she empowers others to embrace their uniqueness too.

You can be anything you want — If you put your mind to it.
