Sibylle Westbrook was born and raised in Germany. She holds a BA in Language Arts and worked as a freelance translator and interpreter for many years with assignments all over Europe. Since moving to California to marry her husband she has raised her family, taught German to young children, worked in Avantgarde fashion and pursued philanthropic interests. Her love of animals led her to travel to Madagascar in 2019. The unexpected encounter with lemur Brigitte touched her so profoundly that she felt compelled to share her story.
