WHILE SOME FOLKS may use the holiday season as their reason to give, entrepreneur and fitness and lifestyle influencer Yami Mufdi uses her business savvy to give back year-round. She’s the founder and CEO of Levavi, a sustainable and size-inclusive activewear and swimwear company, and has garnered more than 120,000 followers on IG thanks to her body-positive content and workout vids. Having built her biz from the ground up, the newlywed is enjoying her first holiday season with her filmmaker husband, Taz Frase — specifically, by a firepit with a glass of wine. Here’s how she responded to our quirky Q&A!
