Sara Jin Li is a 26-year-old artist based in Los Angeles, CA by the way of the Midwest. As an immigrant and a queer woman of color, Sara's work centers marginalized identities and has been described as 'radical, clever, and gut-twisting.' She has written several short films and plays, including Leap of Love (2023)—a satire about ableism—which won the Disability Film Festival and is now premiering at film festivals across SoCal. In her formative years, Sara founded an advocacy based organization for sexual assault survivors and won a Webby Award for their "Consent is Simple" campaign in 2017. Her 3-year investigation into the Gracemoon Studios acting cult was named New York Magazine's 'One Great Story' and Apple News' Editor's Choice.

She is also the founder of Heretics Club: a literary salon for creative writers. Sara's first book, Growing Up Powerful: All Things Friendship (Penguin House Teen), is now available for pre-order. She is currently studying at Harvard University for her masters, writing on her Substack (Gut Feelings), and being a cat-momanger. For context, Sara is a Virgo.
