Her unique blend of vulnerability, strength, and wisdom resonates with millions worldwide, including those in Guyana, where her influence continues to grow.
A Journey of Transformation
Sarah’s story is one of transformation and resilience. She was born into a prominent family as the daughter of renowned bishop T.D. Jakes experienced both the privileges and pressures that come with such a legacy. However, her path was far from straightforward. At just 14, she became a mother, facing immense scrutiny and doubt. But it was this early challenge that forged her strength and determination.
Instead of succumbing to societal labels, Sarah chose to rewrite her story. She graduated high school early, earned a degree, and built a successful career. Her book, Lost and Found: Finding Hope in the Detours of Life, chronicles her journey from struggle to triumph, offering hope and encouragement to those who may feel lost or overwhelmed.

Whether dealing with past mistakes, balancing career and family, or finding purpose, Sarah’s teachings resonate deeply with those striving to navigate their paths.
A Global Impact with Local Relevance
Sarah’s impact extends far beyond the borders of the United States. In Guyana, where issues such as gender inequality and economic challenges persist, her message of empowerment is especially timely. Her teachings emphasize the importance of self-worth, resilience, and community support—essential for personal and societal growth.
Moreover, Sarah’s advocacy for mental health awareness and self-care speaks directly to a growing need in the Caribbean region, where these topics are often stigmatized. By addressing these issues openly, she helps dismantle barriers and encourages a healthier, more open dialogue.
