A proud graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, she earned her degree in Interdisciplinary Studies—concentrating in Creative Writing and Psychology—in December 2018. She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Addiction.
Sierra has been active on Medium since 2018, where her early work reflected a passion for storytelling, mental wellness, and cultural identity. While she is no longer active on this account, her work continues to evolve across new platforms and creative spaces.
Deeply committed to social justice, community advocacy, and uplifting underrepresented voices, Sierra founded The Saged Arts Foundation, a platform dedicated to using creativity as a tool for mental health and empowerment. Through this initiative, she leads two art-driven ventures:
Total Cxtch LLC, a fashion brand that centers survival, beauty, and brilliance—especially for Black women;
Balance Ink, a writing and publishing platform designed to elevate emerging literary artists.
