When you weren’t not even 18 years old and responsibilities hold you like mother cuddle her child and I am proud of it.
Sudden death of my father in 2002 left me all alone, gathered all my pieces of myself and put them in a form of a girl with no go back.From teaching to food industry job then banks and now Business and women empower venture. Got married in 2011 so had to leave my banking career for the sake of my married life.
A new turnaround in my as marriage life as I passed a phase of initial two years with 2 miscarriages but thanks to Almighty, i am now supermom of 2 handsome kids. Side by side I started my online clothing business as I can’t sit without work. Saby.j is my brand name and got it established by working from home in the year 2014. This is very close to my heart as it gives me my identity and space for creativity.
Another twist happened in my life in 2018. I was identified with a brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM). No option for treatment was available other than surgery that was life threatening. But thanks to Almighty Allah a 12 hours operation with complete loss of blood, 2 days on ventilator, a week in ICU and 2 months in hospital bed. I fought back again for my kids and family.
Now in 2020 gallbladder removal on time save me from cancer. As biopsy reports shows it was foci of low grade dysplasia.
Here I am Sabeen Ali Jafri owns an online clothing business and a community lead of #womentieswcrc to empower women , specially differently abled.
I realized that it is very difficult for women to take a start and specially women with disabilities. Realised when i was on bed for 3 montns.
So, I started this community with the basic purpose of women helping women in establishing their own businesses specially differently abled women.
I am peoples persons and I love to hear from them, help them and motivate them.
its impossible to avoid those horrible-no-good-very-bad days, but turning into words and in speech giving me more confidence to served a community of women specially differentlyabled also through motivational speaking. A near death experience changed my perspective of life. I developed a deep sense of gratitude for life as well as feeling more love and compassion towards others, a sort of psychological boost where i feel i can achieve anything. It is as if the near to death experienced gives me a large amount of unshakeable confidence.
