2021 Philosophy, Politics, and Economics graduate from the University of Maryland, College Park. 

Saba is a student leader and activist involved in many groups and activities promoting diversity and inclusion. She spent three years in various clubs’ executive boards, two years as a tutor with the Academic Achievement Program, and a year as a manager at the College Park Black-owned business, Milk & Honey. She has also held internships with the U.S. Department of Treasury and Google Inc. She is the co-founder of Black Terps Matter at UMD, which is an Anti-racist coalition.

Through the organization Black Terps Matter, I've been able to organize and lead 2 direct actions, our initial protest on 6/25/2020 and our Peace & Pride Teach-in on 7/23/2020. I also worked hard to formulate our initial list of 11 demands for the University's Administration, which we delivered formally on 7/17/2020- which happened to be the same day we lost the amazing Congressman John Lewis. 

I worked to support our community in the political sense when I traveled to Georgia to engage voters prior to the 2020 Senate run-off in December.

A lot of my activism work from the years 2020 and 2021 can be found on this website - https://www.sabaspeaking.com/activism-in-the-dmv

Above is a video from the only oral history project I've made public of myself. As an activist, I think it's important to make myself accessible and available to the community, but I don't use that page anymore.  I’m choosing only to document my journey through @sabaspeaking, while organizing in real life.
