Within the arts lies a powerful but largely untapped force for healing. The arts and science are two sides of the same coin, which is our shared humanity. Our ability to live fulfilling, healthy lives depends on bringing these two forces together

We’re Having a Party!

Workshopping an immersive theatre in health education experience for the very young, exploring what it means to make healthy and strong choices for love of ourselves and our communities

Why Work with Me?
I empower communities to creatively engage in their own learning process, especially Black and Brown populations. With this, I am adamant about upholding critical pedagogy in health education. I actively work to put the “public” back into “public health”, as I guide community members and students in their own change processes, harnessing their own art and culture in the process. I am skilled in exploring:
- Reproductive Health and Justice
- Child Health
- Adolescent Health
- Mental Health
- Sexual Health
“Leader”
I have no doubt Saharra will become a thought leader in leverage theatre for public health
