Sabrina Cotton

Dr. Sabrina Cotton is a mother, artist, board certified clinical social worker, and United States Air Force officer. Growing up on the south side of Chicago, Illinois, Sabrina witnessed the impact of violence, addiction, and poverty on families—including her own. Those experiences inspired her pursuit of a career in mental health. Her passion for mental health, community work, and children inspired her to write a children’s book series. The main character is named after her son, Jelani Jason, whose name means “powerful healer.” She hopes the series will be used as a tool to educate and empower children worldwide.
