S01 Episode 02: Sandra Garcia Betancourt – I Am the Point

Sandra Garcia Betancourt, 60 years old, is a writer whose work appeared most recently in Abriendo Caminos, an anthology of Puerto Rican women writers in New York. She is currently the Director of the Sugar Hill Children's Museum of Art and Storytelling in Harlem. She was the founding Director of the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance (NOMAA) in Washington Heights, a high-heeled union organizer, a poet and women's rights activist. From her first spontaneous trip from Puerto Rico to California in her 20s to her unplanned transition to arts administrator in her 50s, Sandra's free-spirited life and story show us how staying attuned to the moment delivers a steady stream of surprises, even when you're sitting on a couch with a broken ankle watching TV.
