Lara Jaswal

At just 24 years old, Lara is redefining what it means to build a life from the ground up. Originally from India, she moved to Canada alone in September 2023 with nothing but two suitcases, unwavering ambition, and a dream of creating a life where she could fully exist as herself. With no friends, no relatives, and no safety net waiting for her, Lara turned uncertainty into opportunity and transformed her journey into one of resilience, reinvention, and purpose.

Today, Lara wears many hats — she is a showgirl, model, reality TV personality, community advocate, activist, and product inventor at Lush Cosmetics. A natural storyteller and creative force, she thrives at the intersection of performance, beauty, identity, and representation. Whether she’s commanding attention on stage, contributing innovative ideas in the beauty industry, or using her voice to uplift marginalized communities, Lara brings authenticity and heart into everything she does.

Her passion for advocacy deepened during her time at Centennial College, where she served as the lead for the institution’s Queer Collective. In that role, she became a visible and compassionate force for queer and trans students, creating safer spaces, leading conversations around inclusion, and fostering community for those navigating identity, belonging, and self-expression. Through this work, Lara discovered that her purpose extends far beyond creativity — it lies in empowering others to live boldly and unapologetically.

As a proud trans woman, Lara’s story started with starting as a drag performer in fall 2025 and suddenly coming to the realization that her art was so much more than just performing on stage. Her journey reflects the realities of starting over in a new country while carving out space in industries and communities that often lack diverse representation. Yet through every challenge, she has continued to blossom into a multifaceted creative and changemaker whose presence inspires those around her.

Driven by passion, artistry, and a deep commitment to community, Lara represents a new generation of creatives: fearless, dynamic, and impossible to ignore. Whether in entertainment, activism, fashion, or innovation, she is only just beginning — and her story is one the world will be watching closely.
