Soleil Sabalja has been in education for 11 years, teaching high school English in China for 2 years, and for the past 9 years has been back in New York City, working with high school students learning English, and students with Special Needs. This year she is also teaching and creating a brand new high school course called Environmental Activism.
Inspired by community organizing around Racial Justice Movements in 2020, Soleil founded Nasty New Yorkers as an aggregate community group where people could have a one-stop shop for learning about local community cleanups, uplifting local community organizations in particularly underserved and underfunded communities. Her organization was recently published in Caribbean Life News.
In that same year, she was a FLAG Award for Teaching Excellence Finalist, “an award that recognizes and celebrates extraordinary public school teachers in NYC who inspire learning through creativity, passion, and commitment.”
