Today we're visiting the capital city of California, which just happens to be Sacramento for the uninformed, to chat with the award-winning entrepreneur, impact leader, and youth arts program creator, Tamaira Sandifer. And here's an impressive stat to get us underway. Tamaira, or Miss Tee as she's affectionately known, has mentored over 880,000 youths in school districts in underserved communities across America.
She does this largely through her Studio T Arts & Entertainment company, where they instill real-life skills, hope, and a sense of belonging through groundbreaking programming and diverse educators who specialize in creating avenues for the development of trauma-informed youth and cutting-edge technologies.
Tamaira has developed some of Hollywood's most sought-after young dancers, including the 2016 winner of So You Think You Can Dance, the 2018 World of Dance Stars, and members of the Jabbawockeez. Her graduates currently travel the world, performing with stars such as Justin Beiber, Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Usher, Beyoncé and Ellen.
Her students have gone on to work for the White House and be seen on stages of MTV Music Awards, Nick Choice Awards, BET Awards & more, as well as to defy the statistical odds. As a pioneering champion for pathways through the arts and business, Miss Tee has garnered recognition such as Forbes Cultural 50 Champion, Woman of the Year by California Legislative Women's Caucus, NAWBO Outstanding Woman Leader, and Hub Magazine's Exceptional Women of Color.
Tamaira is also the founder of California's Day of Dance, a board member of Californians for the Arts, a member of the City of Sacramento's Race and Cultural Equity Task Force, and Chair of Americans for the Arts Art Education Council. Wow, that's a list and a half, and as you'll hear during our conversation, Tamaira lives to serve.
As a community and a business leader, she's adamant that this approach ensures you are constantly performing and delivering to your best ability, even when you're experiencing those tough moments yourself
