Sierra is focused on equity and on creating a table of opportunity where everyone is included.

Sierra strives to create a Theatre of the Empowered, where people are valued for their innate humanity, and can reach their highest artistic potential.
In July, Sierra began working as one of the co-producers of Pass Over on Broadway through the Seat at the Table Program, and made her Broadway debut when previews began on August 4th. Pass Over was a New York Times Critics Pick, and has been hailed as one of the best pieces of theatre in 2021 by numerous publications.
