Who we are

At Next Level Narratives, I am passionate about open knowledge sharing. My goal is to bring awareness to those who wish to pursue higher education through motivational speaking. I hope to empower students to navigate the community college experience. I want to help individuals thrive in their academic, professional, and personal journeys.

Created by Sarah Thomas, a first-generation college student who comes from a socio-economically challenged background. Attending community college and proceeding to exceed expectations when I transferred to UC Berkeley as a student parent and community college graduate. I bring firsthand experience, insights, and practical advice to first-generation students, parents, and anyone seeking guidance through college and beyond. I also provide an array of freelance services working as a Jack of all trades. I specialize in mid-level graphic design, photography, videography, and voiceover work.

I believe in equality, transparency, equity, inclusion and accessibility. I am here to support you every step of the way. Whether you’re looking for academic support, professional guidance or are in need of a motivational speaker for your next event, you’ve come to the right place.

Join me as we break down these generational gate-kept barriers that limit our success and outcomes.
