PBS Spotlights Tamaira “Miss Tee” Sandifer and Studio T: Empowering Communities Through the Arts
Sacramento, CA — [June 25, 2025]
Tamaira “Miss Tee” Sandifer, founder and CEO of Studio T Arts & Entertainment, was recently featured on PBS’s KVIE Arts Showcase for her groundbreaking work using dance and creativity to uplift underserved communities. The segment highlights her journey from Richmond, California to becoming one of Northern California’s leading voices in arts access and youth empowerment.
“I realized I couldn’t wait for opportunities — I had to create them,” Sandifer shares in the feature. “So I stopped asking for a seat at the table and started building my own.”
The PBS spotlight dives into Miss Tee’s visionary approach — meeting people where they are, removing barriers to creative education, and building a movement that blends art, leadership, and purpose. Through Studio T, she has reached thousands of youth, educators, and community leaders with programs that cultivate confidence, skill, and opportunity.
From Local Stages to National Impact
What began as a small dance class has grown into a statewide network for creative expression, workforce development, and community healing. Under Sandifer’s leadership, Studio T has become a launchpad for young artists and a model for culturally responsive education.
Her PBS feature underscores her philosophy: if the system doesn’t serve you, innovate one that does. That mindset has positioned Studio T as both a cultural institution and a catalyst for social change.
Looking Ahead
Sandifer continues to expand Studio T’s reach, building partnerships that integrate art, education, and technology. Her next phase focuses on scaling programs across California and beyond — ensuring every young person has access to the tools, mentorship, and platforms they need to thrive.
“We’re not just teaching art,” she says. “We’re teaching people how to build futures.”
