Presenting and teaching at the African International Schools Association Conference in Accra, Ghana!
Sarah was immensely honored to be asked to deliver the opening keynote for the AISA’s annual conference. She then spent three days working with educators from international schools from all over Africa: working, playing, creating, and collaborating on how spoken word poetry can be brought into classrooms as an education tool. Sarah was thrilled to get to spend time with such enthusiastic and dedicated teachers and staff. Much gratitude to Peter Bateman and all of the participants in Sarah’s workshops.

The Artist in Residency at Serenbe in Palmetto, GA!
Sarah is so excited to be the Artist in Residency at Serenbe. She is on the road so often, she barely ever gets time to generate new work or process what she is experiencing. This time at Serenbe is the perfect opportunity to rest, reflect, research, and write. So much gratitude to the Artist in Residency board for this amazing opportunity and honor.
