ENRICHMENT ACADEMY
WHO WE ARE
S.A.B.R.E.E. Enrichment Academy was born out of both unimaginable loss and unshakable love. Named in honor of my beloved son, Sabree Marquis Daniel, and his stepmother, Renay Daniel, who were both taken by domestic violence, the Academy stands as a living tribute to their light and legacy. Our story is rooted in resilience, out of grief came a vision to break generational cycles of trauma, poverty, and inequity by creating spaces where children and families can heal, learn, and thrive. What began as a mother’s promise to transform tragedy into purpose has become a community mission: to empower youth from historically marginalized backgrounds with the tools, mentorship, and hope they need to rise above their circumstances.
At its heart, S.A.B.R.E.E. is more than an organization. It is an embodiment of who we are. I am Dr. Sonji Fatima (Daniel) Harold, a mother, educator, and advocate who chose to honor my son’s name by ensuring that other children are not forgotten, silenced, nor left behind. Our history is one of faith, perseverance, and service: from Newark roots to global impact, we carry forward a legacy of resilience and compassion. Today, S.A.B.R.E.E. Enrichment Academy is a 501 (c)(3)nonprofit organization, EIN:
92-3486973 dedicated to building whole children and whole communities through trauma-informed, healing-centered education and mentorship. We are champions of equity, standing as proof that from pain can come purpose, and from brokenness, a new generation of leaders.

Heart of S.A.B.R.E.E. Enrichment Academy
At its heart, S.A.B.R.E.E. Enrichment Academy is dedicated to breaking intergenerational cycles of disadvantage by equipping historically marginalized youth and families with the tools to flourish, emotionally, academically, and socially, from the earliest moments of life and well into the future.
Rooted in trauma-informed care, culturally responsive education, leadership development, and emotional resilience training, S.A.B.R.E.E. cultivates safe, nurturing, and opportunity-rich environments where young people and their families are not only seen but deeply supported and holistically strengthened. Our work begins with children from birth through age eight, those born into marginalized communities and impacted by poverty and systemic inequity, ensuring they are never left to face life’s challenges in isolation.

Our Vision
We envision a world where every life is cherished, every community flourishes, and every individual, regardless of race, history, or circumstance, is empowered to heal, grow, and succeed.
At S.A.B.R.E.E. Enrichment Academy, we dream of a future where every child is met with dignity, nurtured in love, and equipped with the tools to thrive. A future where early intervention, equitable education, and holistic care converge to break generational cycles of trauma, and where healing is not a privilege but a promise.
We see resilient communities where purpose is ignited, legacy is honored, and historically marginalized families are not merely surviving, but flourishing, generation after generation. In this world, trauma no longer determines destiny, and every child has the freedom and support to become all they are divinely created to be.

Serving children ages 0 to 8 in historically underserved communities, we are committed to nurturing bright minds and brave hearts by integrating culturally responsive education, early intervention, mental health support, and family-centered wraparound services.
