Creativity for Social Justice: My Interview with Theda Sandiford

There are many thoughts that come to mind where I think of Theda Sandiford like Music Industry Leader, Artist, Empathetic Connector, Mentor, Coach, Boss.

Theda and I met four years ago through a mutual friend when I was producing year 1 of my conference Mindfulness in Music, and I wanted to bring her on as the Keynote. Our initial conversation was memorable. What immediately struck me about Theda when hearing her talk was just how committed she was to her process- the process of her art, her life's work, owning her journey and bearing witness to how beautifully the work itself can take on a life of its own.

I'm happy to say that we continued to stay in touch and were able to come together to do this special interview.

Here, Theda shares her incredible story with me and how we as creatives, can tap into our own stories as art, life and creating a movement with impact and compassion. A big thank you to Theda and also Marisha Legan-Johnson for producing/editing.

If you're a creative, this interview was made for you. Enjoy!

Compassion rocks! ??????
