This month, we are proud to celebrate entrepreneur and activist, Shamime Jan, the Founding Director of Bollyfit Active, a group which aims to support local women in having a culturally appropriate environment to open up, socialise and stay active. She has also completed both the Time To Grow and We Lead For Legacy Programmes.
Shamime is a British Pakistani who was born in Pakistan and raised in the UK. And her dedication to growth and development is evident in everything she does. She started as a driving instructor and later as a Herbal life coach, a venture she started when she fell in love with its products and results.
Shamime wanted to help the women like her, improve their health and wellbeing by empowering them to train and to become Herbal life coaches, stretching over a decade. She has a long history of working with and advocating for South Asian women in the local community for twenty years through her various businesses and voluntary work.
She is the director and founder of Bollyfit Active CIC; offers a strictly women-only environment, incorporating cultural music and cultural dance to tackle obesity, isolation, and depression and improve the health and well-being of South Asian and BAME women in the local community.
She also co-chairs on BASE Community Benefit Society, and is the founder of a coaching organisation for women: “Dreams Become Reality” ensuring her impact across Manchester is felt by as many people as possible.
Here at Flourish we are proud of what Shamime has accomplished so far and are looking forward to partner on projects in 2025 – so watch this space!
