Creator to Creators Ep 37 Sarah Murphree

Sarah began her career working as a photojournalist in third world countries, writing with a focus on global poverty. After three years of working as a photojournalist in Haiti, Ecuador, and Nepal, she moved to Los Angeles to continue my love for storytelling.

Her greatest passion is to abolish the stigma surrounding mental illness. This dream fueled her desire to be a writer and actress, telling stories that bring hope and healing to the viewer, pursue stand up comedy finding humor in the pain, and eventually lead me to create Funny People Cry Too, a digital network and live storytelling show where individuals share their personal stories about mental health to help end the stigma surrounding mental illness.

She has been an actress on Nashville, Deadly Sins, My Crazy Ex, and was the girl in Fall Out Boy’s Music Video of The Year “Uma.” She has put my comedic skills to use in stand up comedy performing at venues such as The Comedy Store, Ice House, and Flappers. As a host, she has represented over 20 brands in national commercials.
Best known as a storyteller, she has turned her unique experience as the daughter of a mother with schizoaffective disorder, who went undiagnosed for 50 years, into the written word. After college, she took a year off to spend time with the homeless community in her hometown to better understand her own mother’s journey. Her first book is scheduled to be released in December 2020.
