Revista Amar: Keanu, tell us a little about yourself…<\/strong>
\nKeany Lee Nunes:<\/strong><\/span> I was born in South Africa and moved to Switzerland when I was just 6 months old. We lived there for 5 years before moving to Canada. My Dad, Vasco Nunes, was born in Portugal and my mother, Jacqueline Nunes, was born in South Africa. They both grew up there during the Apartheid system which made it very difficult for them to date and marry. I have nothing but respect for my parents as they have worked so hard to give my brother, Sasha Nunes, and I the life we now have.
\nAs for myself I am a huge animal lover, my household has always been filled with big dogs specifically Dogue do Bordeaux\u2019s.
\nOne of my biggest passions is fitness. I\u2019m always active and eat as healthy as I can. I have been plant based for 3 years now and have never felt better.<\/p>\n

RA: What kind of relationship do you have with your parents and your brother?<\/strong>
\nKLN:<\/strong><\/span> My relationship with my family has always been close. I have always felt nothing but love and support.<\/p>\n

RA: How was it to be raised in a Portuguese-Chinese cultural and traditional environment?<\/strong>
\nKLN:<\/strong><\/span> It\u2019s amazing being brought up with a multicultural background as I\u2019ve been able to learn so much different history. But I have to say the best part is having a mom who can cook Chinese, Portuguese and South African food.<\/p>\n

RA: Do you speak Portuguese or Chinese? Or maybe both?<\/strong>
\nKLN:<\/strong> <\/span>I wish I could say I spoke both, but I will have to give an underwhelming answer which is neither.<\/p>\n

RA: How would you describe yourself?<\/strong>
\nKLN:<\/strong><\/span> I would describe myself as open minded and none judgmental. I love to go with the flow and just be present.<\/p>\n

R. A.: Do you have hobbies?<\/strong>
\nKLN:<\/strong><\/span> My biggest hobbies are cooking, hiking and almost any sport.<\/p>\n
