Sarah Whitelocke
Sarah was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica where she spent her free time laying idly in the shade drinking coconut juice. She moved to Maryland when she was 16, where she spent her junior and senior year at Gaithersburg high school, before going to college at Denison University in Granville, Ohio.

She spent her college years studying media and communication. She was involved in several clubs and groups organized around social justice and forward movement. She used her summer breaks to travel to different summer programs along the east coast to create promotional and marketing videos for summer camps, as well as teach the young people at the camps about storytelling through the use of film and photography. These years were some of her best.

At the end of her college career she was offered a internship with Saturday night live where she got to experience the intense hustle and bustle of an American network television production. Working on live show proved rewarding in developing time management skills. She then went on to work for a production company as well as a photography studio. Somewhere along the line she felt she had lost touch with the things she truly cared about.

She left those jobs and applied to AmeriCorps through witch she was introduced to the Gandhi Brigade.

Sarah joined the Gandhi Brigade in September of this year. The organization is a combination of two things close to her heart, media and its use for social justice. She is the youth media trainer at the Gandhi Brigade. Which means she gets to hang out with youth and teach them about media. What more could she want?
