She created a kindergarten based on the teaching methods of Maria Montessori and co-edited what became an early printed voice of the community's Black population. Titled The Center LIGHT, the weekly paper sought to fulfill its intention: "give people the light and they will find their way." One morning, the KKK showed its hatred by hurling a firebomb at the newspaper's office, the flames charring the office's white cement block exterior.Upon return to her birthplace, Green Bay, WI, Sandra worked as a journalist in the Fox Valley, after which she returned to college and finished her BA degree through the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay's returning adults program. Thereafter Sandra taught life-drawing and anatomy at UW-GB and St. Norbert College in De Pere, WI, and co-directed UW-GB's Summer Arts Program for adolescents and teens. She also served as a writing specialist at the College of the Menominee Nation and was the Integrated Arts Coordinator at Aldo Leopold school, where she used photography and writing as a means for students to integrate classroom learning with the world at large. As a member of the National Storytelling Network, she works with local writers, encouraging them to speak and write their truth.Sandra furthered her knowledge of the writing process by attending writing conferences and conducting workshops at both the National Story Circle Conference in Austin, TX and The UntitledTown Book and Author Festival in Green Bay.She is currently at work on her memoir.lihat lebih sedikit
