Is it correct to say:
Neither Sarah nor I is a coward
Or:
Neither Sarah nor I am a coward
Thanks!

Neither of us is a coward.
From Merriam-Webster:
“Neither is usually used with a singular verb, as in "Neither one is here." But sometimes, especially when a prepositional phrase with a plural in it comes between neither and the verb, a plural verb is used, as in "Neither of those are going to work."
The sentence should be reworded to avoid pairing “I” with “is”
