Saylor’s Village was founded on the belief that strong communities are built through care, education, and collective action. Its founder brings more than ten years of experience in childcare and youth development—work that first shaped her understanding of how early support systems, family stability, and community investment directly impact long-term outcomes.
After taking an eight-year break from college to raise her three children, she returned to complete her Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology. That journey was not just academic—it was personal. It reinforced her commitment to creating spaces where families, particularly those navigating structural barriers, are supported rather than overlooked.
She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in the Anthropology of Peace and Human Rights, grounding her work in research that centers justice, dignity, and community-driven change. In her final undergraduate semester, she served as the Department Assistant for Anthropology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She currently works as a Graduate Research and Teaching Assistant for the Institute of Human Rights. Through these roles, she contributes to research, education, and programming that connect human rights principles to real-world community challenges.
Saylor’s Village reflects this same approach—bridging scholarship and lived experience to create meaningful, sustainable impact. The founder’s work is rooted in the understanding that change does not begin in institutions alone; it begins in neighborhoods, families, and relationships. Every initiative is designed with that in mind.
We are the bricolage.
