origen
Sarah is a Dominican-American registered nurse, writer & activist who uses storytelling across social media & creative mediums to help humanize care.
Sarah explores healthcare and humanity through critical analysis of oppressive systems to challenge us to build a just world together. Her lived experience and background growing up in an immigrant household shapes how she navigates spaces with an intense sense of justice and desire for systemic change.
She is the co-founder of 501c3 non profit Don't Clock Out, a community organization dedicated to supporting healthcare workers through the impacts of moral distress. She can cook a mean sancocho, pollo guisado, moro con guandules or tres golpes. If you are a guest in her home, expect to be cared for in the ways she has been cared for all her life, through a strong passion for culture, intense love for humanity and understanding of shared joy through pain.
My abuelo, Nelson Santos, who passed in 2020, was the president of the National Association of Barbers (Asosiacion Nacional de Barberos) in the Dominican Republic & was proudly engaged politically in the US.
He cared deeply about the rights of all people & his legacy is why I feel called to fight for humanity, justice & the liberation of all oppressed people. Mi abuela, Vianela, is a source of strength, resolve & determination to continue through the most difficult seasons.
I am blessed to have a strong support system & have been surrounded by immense love my entire life. I hope to extend this love in the work I do & in everything I create.
