She is also an award-winning Narrative Change Leader in the field of reimaging justice outside prisons and jails through journalism, theater, books and film.

“Sarah has done the needed alchemy to make her life an offering, to use the challenges she has faced to make beauty in the world. I trust her capacity as a guide, knowing that she has, and continues to do the work of transformation, both personal and cultural.” -Aninha Livingstone, P.H.D., Psychotherapy and Soul Activism
