Biography
Sabrina Kee (she/they) is a visual problem solver, a creative engineer, and a community organizer who uses the arts as an amplifier to advocate for progressive social change. She received her bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts from SUNY New Paltz, focusing primarily on graphic design and photography, with minor studies in Sociology and Spanish Language and Latin American Culture. She considers herself to be a perpetual learner, passionate about art and culture throughout human history as it relates to our relationships with ourselves, others, the larger society, as well as the Earth and everything that inhabits it. Sabrina values interdisciplinary education, intersectionality, and an exposure to a diverse range of people, places, stories and experiences, with an understanding that their integration into decision making will assist us in the development of systems that allow us to thrive as a collective, for generations to come. With this as a foundation, Sabrina built a career of her own, with the mission of using the arts as a tool for both internal and external exploration, as a means toward internal and external revolution. Existing at the crossroads of blackness, queerness, womanhood and neurodivergence, she also works to hold space for other artists and content creators from marginalized groups to pursue their own creative passions.
Sabrina runs a portrait photography studio in the City of Newburgh, where she provides a safe space for people from all walks of life to celebrate themselves through traditional and creative imagery. She is the founder of CHARM (Community. Humanity. Art. Representation. Media.) and is a board member of OCQC (Orange County Queer Collective). Sabrina also facilitates “Sisterhood Support & Sanctuary”, a support group run through the Hudson Valley LGBTQ+ Community Center. In addition, Sabrina is a drag performer by the name of KingKee, and is an admin of the 35k member Facebook group, “Bisexual, but make it fashion”!

Founder & CEO
I started this journey with a “Transition in Progress” post on Instagram on July 3rd, when I realized (or rather could no longer ignore) my need to combine my love for art with my passion for activism. My mission with CHARM is to bring marginalized folks to the forefront of the media, challenge beauty standards, give back to the community, and to bring awareness and funding much needed grassroots efforts.
Creative Director
I designed a set of social media content and short video reels to promote CHARM upon its public release on social media on October 2nd, 2023.

Event Planner
“A Bougie Ballroom Affair”
It’s more than just a night of fun and dance. On June 10, 2023, the “Bougie Ballroom Affair” was a night exclusively for LGBTQ+ people of color to celebrate themselves, honor the history their ancestors created, and bond with their chosen family.
We intend to have more ballrooms in the future, with this overall mission: to be a “for us, by us” space that centers Queer POC, for each ballroom to be tied to a specific cause, and for it to be a safe haven to build one’s chosen family.
If you would like to participate, volunteer, or otherwise help out with future ballrooms, email Sabrina at sabbykee@gmail.com
Content Creation
I designed a set of print flyers, social media content, and short video reels to distribute and promote the Center’s various events that I had the pleasure of hosting, including Pride events as well as regularly scheduled Ballrooms.

Description, Mission Statement
Supporting, celebrating, and creating space for our LGBTQ+ family in Orange County, NY
Begun in 2024, Orange County Queer Collective is a queer & trans-led local organization dedicated to building community for LGBTQ+ residents of Orange County, NY through collective art experiences. OCQC incorporated in February 2025 and received its 501(c)(3) nonprofit status in July 2025. We welcome all LGBTQ+ community members and allies to join us in fostering connections and creating space to celebrate our authentic selves.
Mission & Vision
OCQC’s mission is to cultivate community for LGBTQ+ residents of Orange County, NY and their allies through gatherings that prioritize collective visual, literary, and performance art. We unabashedly celebrate trans and queer joy, embrace our beautiful diversity, and provide a space for folks to experience solidarity and the freedom of authenticity.
OCQC envisions a world in which all humans, regardless of sexuality or gender expression, are able to be their authentic selves in every aspect of their lives – without fear and supported by a vibrant community of LGBTQ+ folks and allies. We long for a world free from the systemic normativities, phobias, and -isms that leave any group of people marginalized or oppressed.
Event Planning & Hosting
I have organized and planned several events for OCQC collaboratively, but I’ve also hosted some as the animated/outspoken board member of the bunch! Below are just some of the events we’ve done as an organization:

HIGHLIGHT: Newburgh Pride 2025
Sabrina has been a part of the Newburgh Pride Committee on behalf of OCQC for 2025 and 2026.
Planning & Logistics
Finding community sponsors, note taking and documentation, assistance with developing a media team for day of filming and photography
2025 – Photography, Design & Marketing
In 2025, my main role in the Newburgh Pride committee included finding community sponsors, note taking and documentation, assistance with developing a media team for day of filming and photography. I also suggested we do a gear presale to help reach our donation goal, giving the community a reusable item they could carry with them to future pride events!
2026 – Safety & Accessibility Sub-Committee
In 2026, the Newburgh Pride Committee established sub-committees to help divide the work efficiently and to accommodate for the growing team. I suggested to the group that we also add a Safety & Accessibility sub-committee to address growing concerns around the presence of ICE, as well as ensuring that LGBTQ folks from all walks of life can attend, which included:
- advocating for porta potties and a water truck rental to be available to the public
- translating print and online collateral into Spanish
- providing masks and other PPE for immunocompromised folks
- having a medic tent, and other health and safety resources available.
- integrating walkie-talkies to improve communication efforts and
- marking business on a map that are allies with bathrooms available for attendees
- utilizing indoor space as a sanctuary for rest, cooling, and refuge when necessary
- attending a Marshall Training workshop to be available to assist during the Pride March
- ensuring the Pride stage prioritized performances from Newburgh residents, and ensuring queer folks of color were present
