Hello, I’m Sambiro-Grace.
I’m an author of two non-fiction books: Navigating mommyhood (2022) and Woman Unleashed (2024).
But alongside my writing work, I’m a representative member for maternal and neonatal voices partnership for York hospital, in my role as a maternal health advocate. I also contribute my skills and time to interview prospective student midwives for various universities.
I have been interviewed on BBC radio Sheffield for a mother’s day special programme, featured on Together with young people podcast discussing the inequalities that exist within our various systems, was the opening speaker for Aqua Maternity Collaborative Next steps project by the NHS aimed at improving maternity services and served as a UN Women UK delegate for the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW68).
So in a nutshell, writing about issues that affect women/mothers and advocating for their wellbeing is my passion.
But aside from my writing and advocacy work, I’m usually running around after my 3 year old girl. She is my main focus. She is the reason I decided to pursue a freelance writing career because I want to home with her for the first few years of her life.
I also love keeping fit. I have run three marathons, taken part in many cross fit challenges and hiked a few hills and mountains.
I love travelling, going to museums, galleries and the opera. I’m an avid wine taster (chianti region in Italy being my favourite place), love intellectual conversations and great at playing snakes and ladders.
Well, let me see what else I can tell you about me. Oh, and I’m originally for the small Southern African country of Malawi, but have lived in in the UK for twenty years.
