We are also very pleased to announce our amazing guest speaker, an absolute monster of a climber, Sabrina Appiah!
Sabrina Appiah is a sport climber, born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario. The daughter of immigrant parents, she began climbing at the age of 26 at the original Rock Oasis (Bathurst and Front). At 35 Sabrina sent the Man in Me 13d, gaining its first female ascent and the first female send of that grade in Ontario, without the use of a coach or trainer. She was previously sponsored by MEC and has a short documentary film (The Titan Project) produced by Melanin Basecamp about her journey to send 14a (ongoing).
Sabrina does administrative work for a non-profit substance use treatment centre, where she’s been for the last 13 years. She is currently completing her accreditation as a personal growth/transformative coach, which uses the power of deep listening, observation and thought/behaviour pattern recognition to initiate change in people feeling stuck in their lives.
Sabrina will be speaking about the role climbing has played as a catalyst for her own personal growth and transformation.
All are welcome to attend, member and non-member alike so spread the word!
