Sara Sugar
Sara Sugar is a multimedia journalist who is tirelessly working to bring the queer women of New York City together through the launch of Project Q. The platform combines in-person events with strong online social engagement to connect queer women throughout the city. With Project Q, Sugar brought us the ″Queer Women Kissing″ video that has received more than 140,000 views on YouTube. It launched an enormously successful spin-off event over Memorial Day weekend-the ″Meet Your First Kiss″ party. ″There aren´t enough resources out there for queer women,″ she says. ″I´ve known for a very long time that I wanted to change that, to help serve my community. Nothing makes me happier than finally being able to do just that.″ Sugar has accomplished a lot in recent years. She´s a 2013 graduate of the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism and a former fellow of the Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism. In 2014, she was one of only two recipients of the J. Douglas Creighton Scholarship, funded by Digital First Media CEO John Paton. She´s also proud to announce her new job as associate publisher of PinkNews. Those who have worked with Sugar and utilized Project Q know that her successes are sweet, just as her name suggests! -CC
