REEL SISTERS WRITERS LAB COORDINATOR
Sandrine’s work has been at the intersections of arts, culture, and wellness – always through the lens of liberation, empowerment and being the catalyst or facilitator of a beautiful ruckus as an educator, coach, facilitator, artist, dramaturg and Jyotish astrologer amongst other entrepreneurial, creative and healing justice minded endeavors.
As a vibrant community member of the African Voices institution since 2003 she has served as a strategic consultant with AV’s board, a writer for the magazine, a teaching artist with its dedicated programming for youth and college students alike, and a creative healing facilitator in her role as the creator of the powerful community healing program funded by Poets & Writers Magazine, L.E.T. G.O.: an experiential poetry workshop meant to uplift introspection and spiritual contemplation through daily haiku writing and life coaching practices. Her most active role at present is as the Project/Production Coordinator of Reel Sisters’ Summer Scriptwriting Lab as well as the host of its Fall Scripted Reading Series held in partnership with BRIC Arts Media. She sees both roles as brilliant opportunities to nurture restorative healing space where the arts and the people creating and participating are centered and celebrated.
As a first-generation American, she was blessed to have been raised in a dynamic community of socially conscious, deeply loving and generous – very spicy, very hilarious – Haitian church goers on the Upper West Side. She carries these roots and the power of her ancestry into everything she does.
