ALICIA SANCHEZ - Author

It all started with a fantastic, large, loud, loving, hard-working Dominican family. I was the only girl out of three boys, and my parents were entrepreneurs before I knew what that word meant. I grew up in a creative environment and decided to study Fashion right from high school which led me to experience fashion weeks as an intern with Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera. Later on, life happened, and I encountered many health-related roadblocks leaving me wondering what’s next in my life. In the midst of business and fashion, I stumbled upon writing.  Of course, it started with my childhood author obsession.

So, I began writing and published a book. I began a podcast and let my voice sing; interviewing guests with a message, story, or simply a conversation. I rebooted my YouTube channel and slowly built my tribe.  I quickly realized this was bigger than just helping one person at a time. I started the ‘Dear God Are We There Yet Volunteer Community.’

Our vision is to provide life changing volunteer experiences that make an impact to help communities, one question - one conversation, at a time. We are bringing a different approach to volunteering, whether in person or online.  We want to cultivate a socially-conscious mindset that provides a time-shared approach for generations to come. We listen to local people’s needs, dreams and plans, then we mobilize volunteers to work hand-in-hand with them on their community’s vision to serve youth and families. You’re now part of that conversation!

Alicia Sanchez is an entrepreneur, podcast host, and published writer. She has been featured on the Dr. Oz Show, Black Shopping Channel, endless publications and various fashion weeks with her fashion brand before she began writing Dear God, Are We There Yet? ’ and creating a volunteer travel community.
