Sarah Allen has 20 years of experience working in various areas of media; including video production, online media and writing. Shortly after graduating college, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in Broadcast media and was hired as one of the first employees for a start-up network called the Tennis Channel; which has since been on the air for 15 years. She also got on the ground floor of the now defunct, Current TV, founded by former Vice President, Al Gore. She eventually transitioned from broadcast to print and online media. 

She has a Bachelor’s degree in radio & TV from San Francisco State University, is a member of the National Association of Black Journalists and has served as a board member for the Bay Area Black Journalists Association since January, 2011. Sarah loves connecting people through community organizing and event planning. She recently hosted a panel discussion in Miami at the National Association of Black Journalists convention with Ice Cube and the BIG3 on Diversity in Sports.
