Sabrina is a queer, mixed-race (Black and French-European) settler who now lives in Ontario after five years on the traditional home territory of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation and the North Slave Métis. She moved to Yellowknife in January 2020 and co-founded the Northern Birthwork Collective later that year. Sabrina began her official role as Project Director in October 2020 and will transition into the role of Director of Finance in Fall 2025, continuing to support the Collective remotely.

​

Alongside her leadership work, Sabrina is a full-spectrum doula who supports people through pregnancy and all pregnancy outcomes, including pregnancy loss and abortion. At NBC, she has played a central role in developing the cost-supported doula access program, the abortion support program, and supports for families impacted by the birth evacuation policy. She also works to advocate for systemic change to harmful policies affecting pregnant people in the North at local, territorial, and federal levels.
 

Since stepping into leadership in 2020, Sabrina has developed a strong understanding of the charitable sector, trust-based funding, and the barriers doulas—especially BIPGM doulas—face in accessing financial compensation for meaningful community work.
 

She completed her first birth doula training in April 2019 and has since been on an eye-opening, unravelling, and deeply committed journey of learning so that she can fully show up for her clients. While her priority has always been supporting people to have positive and embodied birthing experiences, she is also passionate about the political side of birthwork—believing that the two cannot be separated.
 

Access to care that is grounded in cultural safety, anti-racism, and inclusivity is a human right. It is reproductive justice, and it continues to guide her work both as a doula and in her role at NBC.
 

As a queer, mixed-race Black person, Sabrina’s lived experiences with health care inequities facing Black, Indigenous, other racialized communities, and LGBTQ2S+ people remain a driving force in her commitment to supporting those most impacted by systemic oppression.
