Dr. Sabreena Ghaffar Siddiqui was born and raised in England and now calls Toronto home. She is an award-winning public speaker and a media commentator, who is a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Communications & Policy Expert. Sabreena is currently a Professor of Sociology and Criminology at Sheridan College.

Sabreena has been interviewed on CTV News, CBC News, Radio Canada International, Toronto Star and other media outlets to share her expertise on immigration issues and Islamophobia.

Her contributions as an academic continue to make an impact on the policies relating to the equity of immigrants and racialized minorities in Canada.

Sabreena is also very involved in community engagement and knowledge translation. She serves on the board of the Canadian Council of Muslim Women and The Pluralist Foundation, as their senior communications executive and is also on the advisory board of The Canadian Muslim Vote.

In an alternate world, Sabreena would have loved to explore acting and theatre. She probably would have gone into theatre and would’ve liked to run her own dance studio!
