I am an interracial adoptee, a victim of the Troubled Teen Industry, and a child of trauma.
I am also a wife, a mother, an author, an activist, an advocate, and a survivor.

My mission is to save children from the abuses I experienced.

Sabrina is a survivor of five Troubled Teen Industry programs that she attended her entire adolescence. She is an interracial adoptee who was sent away by her adoptive family at the age of eleven after enduring years of narcissistic abuse from the family that raised her, particularly from her adoptive mother in the form of traumatic verbal beratement due to the color of her skin and aggressive physical onslaughts.
In her videos on TikTok, Sabrina also shares her stories of abuse and neglect within the TTI as an adoptee. Her primary intention in sharing these stories is to spread awareness and to do everything she can to help end the abuse in TTI programs.

Sabrina recently published her first book about her experiences in the Troubled Teen Industry- Dear Renisha: Turning Trauma into Triumph, now available on Amazon. She is also incredibly active in sharing her trauma and healing journey on her TikTok profile and within the vast community of Troubled Teen Industry survivors. She has plans to write a sequel to Dear Renisha in the near future. She also works closely with A Man Apart Podcast, amplifying the voices of survivors. Sabrina focuses on activism against the Troubled Teen Industry and the adoption industry, bringing awareness to issues that affect traumatized children.
