I design and facilitate AI training programs for nonprofits, foundations, and development organizations working across Africa and globally. My workshops build practical AI literacy and digital storytelling skills in participants who leave with real portfolio work — not just certificates. Programs are structured around each organization's impact mandate, co-branded, and built for measurable outcomes. I am Sandra — SAB — Founder and Creative Director of SAB Studios NG, Founder of the AI Filmmakers Network (AFN), and Festival Director of the African AI International Film Festival (AAIIFF). For over a decade I have worked across storytelling, creative direction, and film production, building platforms and programs that sit at the intersection of African creativity and emerging technology. I work with global non-profits, foundations, and development organizations in two specific ways. I train. Through sponsored bootcamps and institutional training programs, I equip young people with practical, hands-on AI filmmaking and content creation skills — creating direct pathways to creative employment and entrepreneurship. Programs are structured, documented, co-branded, and built around each organization's impact mandate. Participants leave with real skills and real portfolio work. I produce. Through SAB Studios NG, I help organizations tell their stories with the clarity and visual power they deserve — using AI-powered filmmaking to deliver documentary content, campaign visuals, donor-facing materials, and digital media at a fraction of traditional production costs. The work gets seen. The story gets felt. Funding moves. In both cases, the belief is the same: story is the most powerful asset any organization has. I help you deploy it strategically. I am a 2025 U.S. Embassy Personal Development Grant Awardee, a YALI Regional Leadership Center Fellow, and a paid creative partner to global AI platforms including Luma Labs, Runway, and Grok AI. I founded and lead a pan-African creator community of 500+ members and have delivered training, workshops, and keynote sessions across Nigeria and the continent. If you represent a foundation, non-profit, or development organization looking to invest in youth creative capacity or elevate how your impact is communicated globally — I would like to connect. 📩 Partnerships & programme enquiries: [email protected]
