Deborah Dinshaw

Deb Dinshaw was born in the 1980s in Toronto, Ontario. She grew up in a time period where there were not many folks who looked like her. Beyond that, many adults in her life would ask her for her *real* name when she introduced herself. Deborah was an introvert and book worm since childhood. She developed her public speaking skills by being an audience member at her mother’s Toastmasters sessions.
Deb got her BSc in Forensic Psychology at the University of Toronto and then completed a Masters in Counselling Psychology. She had a thirteen year career in banking before spending almost six years at Amazon. While excelling in all her roles, it was evident that she had a knack for storytelling and could move people with her words.
Deborah wrote “Counting with Chandni” (to be released) in 2024 and after receiving feedback from her inner circle, threw herself into the writing process. She explores Desi identity while being raised in North America. Deb has a total of five books as of 2025. All of her stories revolve around the kids she has raised and loved since birth: Joshua Roshan (2004), Liam Charlie (2018), Christian Patrick (2020), Ethan Armaan Jorawar (2023), and Evelyn Chandni Geeta (2025).
