Sabrina Milledge was born in New York, NY, and moved to Beaufort at the age of 13. Sabrina endured many troubled times as a child, leading her to be placed in the foster care system in NY.

Sabrina has recently shared her story with the world through her newly published book titled His Beauty 4 My Ashes.
Sabrina is married to Antwan Milledge of Burton. They have one son and four daughters, along with seven grandchildren. Sabrina and her husband own Unique Cuts Barbershop in the Burton area.
