Sarah Yourgrau is a 2X Emmy award-winning Storyteller, Social Anthropologist and Founder of Common Ground Studios
…dedicated to designing narratives that inspire greater social curiosity and connection across our perceived differences.
With over a decade of experience as an award-winning producer, interviewer and on-camera host of both lean-in and lean-back media (from SNL to the United Nations), Yourgrau’s unique capacity for building inviting and navigable bridges between seemingly unrelated cultures, communities, and ideas makes her a pioneer and uplifting force in the rapidly evolving social impact and storytelling space. Her viral give-back TV series, Returning the Favor (which garnered over ½ a billion viewers), proves that audiences are yearning for content that entertains, unites and celebrates the best in us.
She is the CEO and Founder of Common Ground Studios, a storytelling and production studio to leverage the power of authentically feel-good media to inspire and empower audiences to reimagine what’s possible.
