With Sabi Cruise, this Toronto creator is proving consistency > perfection—and that marketing your magic matters.

Black Canadian podcasters are shaping storytelling in every corner of the podosphere—and Bisola WhizQueen is doing it with ease, warmth, and intention.
As the host of Sabi Cruise, Bisola serves up “pull up a chair and gist with friends” energy while weaving in conversations about financial well-being, emotional intelligence, culture, and joy. It’s part podcast, part digital living room, and fully authentic.
I caught up with her to chat about creativity, growth, gear, and what she’s learned along the way.

Q&A with Bisola WhizQueen
SJ: What inspired you to start the Sabi Cruise podcast, and how has it evolved?
Bisola:
I wanted to share more of my fun side, as I've only been talking about financial literacy for years. It has evolved to now having relatable conversations with guests.
SJ: How did you go about launching the show and finding your guests?
Bisola:
Through social media and mostly creator friends.
SJ: What’s something you wish you knew before you started podcasting?
Bisola:
Honestly, one thing I wish I knew from the start is that consistency matters way more than perfection.
At first, I thought I needed the fanciest setup, but the truth is, a decent mic and a steady schedule go a long way.Another big one for me is batching episodes. Recording a few at once saves me so much stress because life will always get busy.
I also learned that marketing is half the game. You can have the best episode, but if you don’t clip it, repurpose it, and share it on socials, people won’t even know it exists.
And finally, I’ve realized your podcast can evolve with you. Sabi Cruise doesn’t have to stay locked into one format forever—it grows as I do, and that’s part of the fun.
SJ: What’s one memorable listener moment that reminded you why you do this?
Bisola:
A mindset shift happened for one of the listeners and they emailed me with a lovely feedback.
SJ: What’s your take on how podcast tech and editing tools are evolving?
Bisola:
I think it's reshaping the industry in a fun way. Editing is now much easier and helps with staying consistent.

Sherley’s Take:
Bisola’s proof, that you don’t need a big studio or fancy setup to create a podcast that connects. What do you need? A reason, a plan that gives you momentum, and just enough strategy to actually press publish.
I’ve been following her as a content creator for a minute now—and I already know she’s gonna keep growing and thriving as a podcaster. Whether she’s dropping life gems or giving you a good laugh, Sabi Cruise makes space for both.
