Hey, I’m Miriam.

A multi-lingual founder with a passion for storytelling and advocating for the importance of human connection. I like making things from scratch—cakes and businesses. Currently I run a concierge vintage and estate fine jewelry business called Simon & Gloria.

In November 2022, I started 52 Friends. A weekly newsletter where I write about friendship and human connection in a sometimes lonely world. I was featured in the Toronto Star, the CBC and was a guest on The Agenda with Steve Paikin.

Wordplay is my forte and I’ve been published in a number of publications.

If you’re looking to work together, please do reach out. My email is miriamsamdur@gmail.com or add me on LinkedIn.
