Description
From a shy small-town girl singing for family and friends at community concerts, to the bright lights of country music fame, from the wheelhouse of her very own fishing vessel hundreds of miles offshore, to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in whiteout conditions, from journalist to entrepreneur to broadcaster to TV show host, Sabrina Whyatt has clearly donned many hats and blazed many a trail.
The Woman I Am is a story of unwavering ambition to rise to one’s full potential. It’s a story of the vital love and support of family, the exceptional, exclusive moors of small-town Newfoundland, and the sundry, winding roads that gratefully lead us back home.
But no success story ever unfolds without its share of tribulations, setbacks, and personal struggles.
The Woman I Am is Sabrina’s unflinching, appreciative, often hilarious and ultimately courageous story of the pursuit of self-discovery and inner sanctuary, and it’s told with that same generous spirit that’s made her one of Newfoundland and Labrador’s most recognizable and esteemed personalities.
About the author
Native to St. Carol’s on the Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland and Labrador, Sabrina Whyatt has discovered success in ventures as numerous and varied as crab fishing, real estate, TV broadcasting, music production, and songwriting. A graduate of Harriot Curtis Collegiate in St. Anthony, Sabrina studied journalism at Westviking College in Stephenville, received her Fish Harvester’s Technical Certificate at the Marine Institute, earned her Class IV Fishing Masters at the Marine Institute, and currently serves on the board of directors of the Canadian Centre for Fisheries Innovation. After writing for numerous newspapers and periodicals across Canada, including her own publication, Off the Rock, Sabrina worked as a fisheries correspondent and news anchor at NTV, where she also produced and hosted two health and fitness reality shows. In 2012 the docu-series Sabrina Whyatt: Blazing Trails showcased Sabrina’s life and lifestyle in both her crab fishing enterprise and her country music career. She has written and released three albums of original music, her first, self-titled, at the age of nineteen, the second, That’s Me, in 2011, and her most recent album, Home In A Song, debuted in 2012 on the Canadian top ten list for bestselling country music albums. She currently resides in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, with her pet pig, Willy Nelson.
