About Saba

81-YEAR-OLD BIKINI DIVA/SPORTS MODEL

Saba was always thin, but not necessarily fit and healthy. She didn’t have much time before the contest, and she knew that just being able to walk would not win her anything. So, she started sculpting her body and learning about fitness and health. She noticed how much stronger, healthier and more youthful she felt, and looked. She was so inspired, she wanted to share this healthier lifestyle with anyone who ever thought they couldn’t do it, or felt they were too old to start.

THIS led to her creating her Think it, Do it, Be it Process as it became aware to her that she was living the thought of what she desired, doing something about it, and reaching her goal of becoming it. Saba continued to compete as a Spokesmodel to talk about how everyone could be Fit For Life with her Think it Do it Be it Process. She went on to take first place in every competition she entered, plus making Team USA she took the Gold in the International World Competition. In 2013 she became certified as a Personal Trainer and created two more workouts while continuing to compete and win.

In 2014 Saba started out the first few weeks of the year with a broken big toe, which kept her from the gym and any kind of workouts. Saba was determined to get back into shape and compete. By using her own Think it Do it Be it Process to get back into shape SHE TOOK THE GOLD again in both Bikini Diva and Sports Model categories internationally.

Saba’s Life Story:

Saba was born in New Jersey and lived most of her youth in The Bronx. When she was fourteen, she moved to California. She has spent all of her life in front of or behind the camera and has been involved in just about every facet of show business since the age of six. She has worked as a dancer/choreographer, actress, stunt girl, stand up comedienne, writer, producer, and director in all
forms of media, including film, television, stage, music videos, and even a stint in the circus.

Always laughing at life, she got into stand-up comedy. Saba created her own show, TURN ON 68, and took it to Vietnam. Back in the States, she teamed up with John Amos (Star of TV’s Good Times, Roots, and Coming To America) to create the comedy duo of AMOS & ANNIE. For the next ten years she starred and co-stared in various films and commercials.

Over the course of one year while starring in her own comedy review in Las Vegas, THE FUNNY FARM, she got the opportunity to step behind the camera by writing, producing and directing 40% of the local television commercial spots.
