Dr. Sarah Bingham is the Founder and Executive Director of Make-It-Click, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to empower black girls to thrive online and in life through mentoring, advocacy, and leadership. As a child, Dr. Bingham was bullied for her appearance and being a former foster youth. Like many girls who felt that they didn’t “fit in” anywhere, she turned to other outlets placing her on the pathway to dropout which brought her to the attention of her school counselor. Seeing her potential, her school counselor plugged Dr. B to various activities and outlets. It was through these activities that “clicked” for Dr. Bingham as she began to find her tribe and see a difference in her life and, most importantly, how she viewed herself.
Now in her adult years, she developed a dedicated heart for improving the lives of youth as a professional social worker with 10 years’ experience. She is the first generation in her family to receive her bachelor’s degree which led her to receive a Master’s in Social Work from Clark Atlanta University followed by her Doctorate of Social Work from the University of Southern California. Dr. Bingham is a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., a recepient of the 2022 Women of Impact awarded by National Coalition of 100 Black Women, wife and mother of 3 boys.
With a clear path and undeniable purpose, Dr. Bingham is using her advanced knowledge and gifts to be the change-maker for other girls of color. Through mentoring, prevention, advocacy, and leadership programs, Dr. Bingham, along with her partners Jennifer Moody and Elizabeth Benton, are helping girls of color thrive online and in this unpredictable world.
