Sarlé Jeffries is an Artist, Author & Experiential Orator ® who is inspired by her travels and encounters with her Selves and others.  With her experiences as her backbone, She brings awareness of the intersectionality of sex, race, intimacy, healing, and the expression of it alive through Art and Conversation. 

With years of experience as a sexual assault peer counselor, she was inspired to launch a photographic series illustrating the beauty of women who were dealing with negative body image and intimacy perspectives as a result of their assaults. This form of therapy was a coping method to expose women to an alternate perspective and opportunity to see their intimate self through the eyes of an artist. As time progressed, Sarlé developed a reputation as an advocate for women who has bravely shared her story as she has served as a special guest panelist/speaker in many avenues. She began public speaking in 2012, has spoken at theVA Hospital representing Veterans, and continues thejourney with discussing her experience with sexual violence, trauma, healing and the intersectionality of race and gender.

She continues to finesse her skills as an Expressionist. From concept to creation, her Love for transformation is shown through Her transparency, conversation, Her art, conversation, approach to healing, and self-expression.
