“Working with Sandra was outstanding. She’s very dynamic and has a lot of talent and ways to bring out the best in you and also deliver in the best way. I love her desire for digging deeper and wanting to know more, for going in the places that may not be normal for her or even normal for me. She just brought so much heart to what we were doing, so much compassion and passion.
With Sandra, I felt like I was connecting with somebody who was going to speak in the language that was me, and also be able to resonate with so many people. She captures the core essence and makes it something that is high-quality and resonates on the Universal level.
It was a joy to work with her, and I learned so much. She is powerful in her writing and her abilities and she can rhyme too! She kicked a good rap. She was inspiring, and I loved working with her.”
