HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR MISS TEE!

Tamaira "Miss Tee" Sandifer Joins Groundbreaking Leaders On For(bes) The Culture List of 50 Champions, Including Colin Kaepernick, Issa Rae, Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, Dwayne Wade, Angel Rich and Amanda Gorman

Sacramento-based youth advocate, philanthropist and Studio T Arts & Entertainment Founder Tamaira 'Miss Tee' Sandifer has been recognized by Forbes Magazine among the inaugural For(bes) The Culture 50 Champions list "Introducing the Black and Brown leaders making the most impact through their capital, creativity, connections and commitment."

According to Forbes, investing in the success of others is a value that’s deeply rooted in Black culture and tradition, whether it’s an investment of finances or a donation of talent and time. The editors further note that whether it’s being intentional about the hiring process, investment and mentorship practices, driving discussions around access or effecting change through advocacy — from Colin Kaepernick and Issa Rae to Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, Dwayne Wade, Angel Rich and Amanda Gorman -- these exceptional leaders all share "the unique experience of being Black or Brown, empowered and ready to champion the narrative" around building and sustaining strong communities of color.

Our Impact

  • "Ms. Tee, as many know her, is a literal powerhouse who has recognized the benefit of dance in the everyday lives of youth who need a creative outlet – and for many – a reason to stay off the streets, out of jail, and to stay alive. She works as a tireless champion in the development of every child to build confidence, character and a conquering spirit that believes anything is possible."

    - Jody Ulich, City of Sacramento, Director, Convention & Cultural Services

  • "Miss Tee interweaves hip-hop dance fundamentals, a technique that literally meets students where they are and connects with their inherent interests, with uplifting, self-esteem generating, life- altering lessons geared toward culturally relevant and sustaining initiatives that speak to our students so well."

    -Nathan Street, Gilford County Schools, North Carolina

  • "What Miss Tee brought to Cal was not just dance lessons, she brought community to some of the poorest and most at- risk students in the city. She monitored their academic, social-emotional, and behavioral achievements and struggles. Miss Tee forged relationships with our administrative team, and several teachers on campus to better support the students in her dance class."

    -Andrea Egan, Principal, California Middle Schol

  • "The programming is impactful, culturally relevant and fills a need by enhancing students’ ability to recognize and invest in themselves and the world around them. Miss Tee and Studio T Arts programs go beyond arts education; it creates avenues for youth to build higher self-esteem, self-worth, develop leadership skills and reinforces academic development."

    Quanice G. Floyd, Executive Director, Arts Education in Maryland Schools
