Conversations with Sabrina Petit-Homme

Today we’d like to introduce you to Sabrina Petit-Homme.

Hi Sabrina, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Well Sports have always been a part of who I am. I grew up as an athlete wherever there was competition, I was there. I loved everything about it. But as I got older, I started hearing the message that a career in sports wasn’t practical. That it wasn’t something people like me could really pursue. So, for a while, I let that dream go.

That all changed when I became an HBCU campus ambassador for Cricket Wireless. They flew me out (along with other cohorts) to Atlanta for the MEAC vs. SWAC game and introduced us to the world behind the scenes—marketing, branding, partnerships, and everything that brings the culture of sports to life. That experience reignited something in me.

When I got back to Bethune-Cookman University, I knew I had to get involved. I joined the Cateye Network / Athletic Department as a Social Media Manager, creating content for our football and basketball teams. It wasn’t just about highlights—it was about capturing energy, community, and pride. Eventually, I stepped into the role of Color Commentator, and that’s where I truly found my voice.

Being behind the mic gave me the opportunity to represent the athletes, to tell their stories, and to bring a different level of connection to the game. It felt like everything came full circle.

As a first-gen graduate and one of eleven siblings, I carry a strong sense of responsibility and pride. I know I’m not just doing this for myself—I’m doing it to open doors for those coming behind me, especially my younger siblings.

I’ve learned that passion doesn’t go away—it just waits for the right moment

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Not at all and honestly, I wouldn’t want it to be. The road hasn’t been smooth, but every bump has shaped who I am.

As a first-generation Haitian college graduate, I didn’t have a blueprint to follow. I had to figure it out as I went, whether that meant navigating college life, balancing multiple responsibilities, or just believing I belonged in rooms I had never seen anyone like me in. There were moments I doubted myself—when I questioned if I was doing enough, is this path for me or if anyone even saw the work I was putting in.

Being one of eleven of my father’s children also came with its own weight. I carry the hopes and dreams of not just myself, but my family. That pressure can be heavy, especially when you’re trying to break generational barriers. There were times I had to push through silence, rejection, and being overlooked.

But the hard moments taught me resilience. They reminded me why I started. Every “no” just redirected me to the right “yes.” And every challenge built the character.

I’m still on the journey, and there are still challenges, but I’ve learned to trust the process. I know that everything I’ve been through is preparing me for where I’m going.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
What do you do? What are you known for?

I specialize in storytelling through sports media, digital content, and live commentary. Whether I’m behind the mic or behind the camera, my goal is the same: to capture the heart of the game and the people in it. I’ve worked with athletic departments, created content that connects communities, and served as a Color Commentator—bringing energy, insight, and representation to the voices we hear in sports.

I’m known for the compassion I bring into every space I enter. Whether I’m working behind the scenes or in front of the mic, I lead with love, light, and genuine care for the people I’m serving. I don’t just show up to do a job—I show up with heart. I make it a point to ensure athletes feel seen, stories feel respected, and that the energy I bring leaves the room better than I found it. I’ve been told I have a gift for recognizing the soul in every moment

What are you most proud of?

I’m proud of staying true to myself in an industry that often asks you to fit into a mold. I’m proud of the work I’ve done at Bethune-Cookman University, and even more grateful for the University offering a space where I along with others to grow! I’m so thankful the whole department: Eugene, Bryce, Harv, Mr. Bright, Vickie, Mike , Mr. McCaskill literally Everyone for pouring into me and believing in me when i couldn’t. I started with social media and worked my way up to calling games on air. But what I’m most proud of is being a first-generation Haitian college grad, using my platform to uplift others and inspire my younger siblings to chase their own dreams.

What sets me apart?
I don’t just bring skill—I bring soul. I come from a place of purpose. I understand the power of voice that God has given me, the impact of visibility, and the responsibility of being a trailblazer. I’m not afraid to lead with faith & heart. I know that when passion meets preparation, anything is possible—and I carry that belief into every room I enter.

Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
Go after your dreams—every single part of them. If God placed that vision in your heart, it’s not by accident. It’s there for a reason. Even if you can’t see the full picture yet, trust that He can. Keep God first and let Him lead you where He needs you. His plan is always bigger than anything you could imagine for yourself.

It won’t always be easy. There will be moments when you question your path, or feel unseen. But don’t let that stop you. Stay consistent. Keep showing up with love, with excellence, and with faith. And don’t shrink yourself just because others don’t understand your calling. You were never meant to blend in—you were meant to be the light.
