More about Sabreen:
I am a Sudanese-Canadian who was born in Moscow, Russia. I have lived in Egypt, Yemen, Sudan, UAE (HINT: Dubai) and here I am in Canada so when people say where are you from? I don’t usually have a clear answer to that
I work with autistic children as an Instructor Therapist. I enjoy writing the most and learning new things. I also love talking about and experiencing different cultures! I take my time to appreciate the similarities and differences of cultures to make the best out of my learning.
In addition to being a writer, I am the podcast producer of “The Lemon Narrative with Sabreen” podcast. Through my travels I was always bothered by how visual identities are judged, I always sensed stories hidden within the people I met. Therefore, I started a treasure hunt through my writing and my podcast. I call it a treasure hunt because I always come across beautiful stories, I always find home within each character I talk to and home is my treasure and my favourite place to be.

More about Ashley and Bizzimumzi:
Bizzimumzi was created by Ashley Verma’s own experience of becoming a first-time Mom in February of 2020. “Becoming a parent is life-changing. It’s a gift and lets be real… It’s terrifying! Once the little bundle of joy arrives, you quickly realise this isn’t all perfect Instagram shots. No, this is now all about survival!”
Ashley Verma – self-proclaimed “ always coffee-infused” – was born and raised in Moundsville, West Virginia. She began a professional Broadway career at just 19, performing on Broadway and around the globe. It was while performing that her fitness career began, teaching sold out classes and personal training the elite. Jumping the pond with her British husband, she launched her first fitness business Define London. Ashley’s fitness business was thriving pre-COVID-19, and she was the go to personal trainer for the likes of celebrities Jourdan Dunn, Pippa Middleton, Lorena Rae and Lisa Snowden.
The global pandemic gave Ashley the harsh slap of reality when she found her Define London brick and mortar having to close down. Forced to pivot to virtual practices, she had just given birth to her daughter, Adiya, and her husband was frequently travelling to Uganda building his solar energy business. She felt overwhelmed, finding great struggle at times, but began to combat the postpartum depression by sharing ‘Mommy and Me’ workouts and vlogging adventures with Adiya on their Youtube channel, Bizzimumzi.
Celebrating her daughter’s first birthday, Ashley began to feel a bit more normal in a ‘new normal’ world. She and her husband were expecting a second child, but things took on a tragic turn at 12 weeks when they received news of a miscarriage. “Motherhood, parenting…. It’s bananas! I found myself spiralling, depressed with the miscarriage news. I was doing my best to be the best for Adiya while grieving the loss of my child. There is no baby book for this, It’s life!”
Surrounded by family and friends, Ashley was encouraged to start a podcast about her journey and bring on other Bizzimumzi’s to share their life experiences. Ashley’s journey creating Bizzimumzi has been beyond therapeutic for her and through weekly feedback after a podcast launch, so does her following.
The Bizzimumzi community is not just about the pretty bits. Ashley and every Bizzimumzi is unapologetically At Its Best, even when “At Its Best” has paint on the walls, cries filling the room, and you haven’t washed your hair in 4 days. We All Got This!

Why was this created?
In 2013 I went through a very tough time with work and spiralled into depression. I shut myself away from everything and every one after being falsely accused and shunned by those pending investigation. How I was impacted my relationship with my wife, mum and anyone else who cared for me but I didn't care. I was ok and didn't see how this situation was 1) fair when I didn' do anything and 2) how my life would be better after this.
I didn't look for anything like this but I know that if I heard a series of stories from other people's lives where things didn't go as intended and what the outcome was it would have helped me to have faith that things will work out in the end. So fast forward to 2022 when I was months away from being a dad to twins (my 2nd and 3rd child) I launched this podcast which I hope will provide hope, and encourage and remove the stigma around topics that are often described as taboo.
Just because we are not in a position to take a picture and share it on social because its not exciting at the moment or we are not in a great place doesn't mean we are losing at life when in most cases it is a part of the process. Your right now is not your forever and nothing about a caterpillar tells you it's going to be a butterfly.
