What are your names?

Sharifa and Derby

 

Tell us a bit more about yourself and your vlog.

We are enjoying the gift of marriage for 16 years now.

We both used to be in the music industry, Derby is a club DJ and a band vocalist back then, I also sing in hotel lobby lounges and currently we are both in the media industry, I head up commercial and advertising for an english digital platform that caters to expats and English-speaking locals while Derby is in the events and subscription side.

 

We started vlogging and cooking is one of my passions and is within the health, fitness and wellness aspect which we are very much focused on right now - to help our friends get back up and become motivated to be a better version of themselves! 

We have other talents too! We are not only trying to be good with our exercises and workouts πŸ‹πŸ»‍β™‚οΈπŸ‹πŸ»πŸ₯ŠπŸš΅πŸΌ we love to sing 🎢 πŸŽ™and dance too πŸ’ƒπŸ»πŸ‘―‍♀️and also very much into fashion and beauty. πŸ’„πŸ’‹πŸ‘—πŸ’…

 

With all this combined, we promise not to bore you but keep you entertained!!

 

What made you start your fitness and wellness journey?

To be honest, I just wanted to have defined abs before I reach 40 haha I know that’s very shallow of me lol but now, I am looking and doing it with a much deeper meaning. 

 

For Derby, it is a big turnaround, due to health issues, he was once diagnosed with borderline hypertension and chronic gout which affects his life tremendously.

 

What improvements in Migrant lives would you like to see?

Improved livelihoods and growth in income and start valuing ourselves and definitely people will respect us more.
