As executive creative director of Talk to Me Nation, she designs trauma-informed arts and wellness programs for families impacted by incarceration and violence, integrating poetry, storytelling, and somatic practices into community healing spaces nationwide. In this conversation, Sarah shares her path to becoming a writer, experiences organizing in St. Louis, and how burnout led her to reshape her work around sustainability and care. We talk about her creative rituals, the vision behind Talk to Me Nation, and what it means to create art in service of liberation and legacy.
