Empowerment Author & Motivational Speaker; Life Coach & Opera Singer; Author of "That Black Hasidic Lady"
Sara Braun Biography
Sara Braun is an author, motivational speaker, life coach, opera singer, and autism advocate whose life story has engaged audiences internationally. Braun has developed a career encompassing writing, public speaking, coaching, and the performing arts, with a focus on empowerment, personal growth, and advocacy. She is recognized for addressing misconceptions about Jewish identity, particularly the diversity within the Jewish community.
Braun was born to a Jewish mother and a non-Jewish father and raised in rural Holland, where she attended Montessori Dutch schools and received a nature-based education. Her upbringing involved limited religious practice and a subdued acknowledgment of her Jewish heritage due to concerns about antisemitism. While her Black identity was often viewed as exotic, her Jewish identity was downplayed throughout her school years. At 18, Braun moved to New York City, motivated by a desire to explore her Jewish roots, which had been kept private in her childhood due to family trauma.
Her experiences within the Satmar Hasidic community have resonated with many, as she embraced the Hasidic lifestyle, married a Jewish man, and raised her children in the tradition, speaking Yiddish at home. Braun notes that her reception as a Black woman in the Hasidic community has been largely positive, despite occasional insensitive remarks, which she does not view as representative of the broader community.
Braun documented her journey in the memoir, "That Black Hasidic Lady: A Memoir of a Dark-Skinned Hasidic Woman." She has authored 29 books listed on Goodreads, with "That Black Hasidic Lady" as a prominent work. Her writing and public speaking address topics such as authorship, happiness, influential women, inspirational leadership, music, personal growth, and resilience.
As a keynote speaker and performer, Braun shares her experiences to encourage others to pursue their goals and live authentically. She is also a mother of five, and her work continues to provide insight and motivation for audiences interested in diversity, inclusion, and the intersection of culture, religion, and identity.

Sara Braun Speaking Topics

Dare to be you!
"This summary/snippet of one of my speeches was written to empower the audience. To coach them to find, trust, own and believe their true self.
Ask yourself some simple questions:
- Who do you want to be?
- Who and what inspires you?
- How would you give back to the world?
- Or how would you like to give back to the world?
Do you fully trust yourself, to follow your own track, and make your personal mark on this world? Maybe it feels like you should pursue a certain destiny. Maybe your family or environment has different expectations from you than what you truly desire from yourself. Listen to your thoughts. What do they say? Maybe your parents want you to get married and have children, but you are not ready. You are just not ready and maybe you rather travel the world for a few years. No matter what path you choose, make sure that it is YOU choosing it.
I am completely aware that this can be scary sometimes and challenging, and I life's journey is not always easy. Especially for those who choose their own course instead of the one that others had in mind for them. Especially for those who dare to be themselves. And even than when you follow your own authentic track, you still may experience that others may not treat your fairly or only see a small fraction of you, your abilities, capabilities and talents. A fraction of who you really are. They won't always see how hard you worked, and how much you have sacrificed to get to where you are at that moment. Instead, they will make assumptions about who they think you are, based on their limited notion of the world.
