Motivational Speaker
About Sandra Dubose
Sandra Dubose is a multi-talented entrepreneur and the fresh, new voice in motivational speaking today. This sort after dynamic orator is a professional performing artist with an inspiring personal story that has made national headlines.
At the age of 25, Sandra was faced with the incurable auto immune disease, Alopecia Universalis, which resulted in the complete loss of all of the hairon her body. She was forced into a compelling journey of self discovery and self acceptance and has emerged a living example that true beauty comes from within. After overcoming Alopecia’s devastating blow to her self esteem, Sandra transformed pain into passion and became an advocate for Alopecia Areata Awareness. She openly shares her experience of going bald and the lessons she has learned about overcoming life’s challenges and the importance of having authentic self esteem from the inside- out.
In a humorous, openhearted and down to earth presentation, Sandra engages her audience and leaves them informed, entertained and inspired with her quick wit and charisma. As a vocalist, songwriter and actress, Sandra clearly stands out from traditional public speakers as a triple threat and a rare find. Not only does she deliver a powerful message, she then uses her musical and theatrical talent to enforce the message of her speaking topic by delivering a dynamic vocal performance that leaves audiences standing on their feet.
Sandra has a unique ability to connect with people wherever she goes. She is genuine and lovingly brings all of her pearls of wisdom and creative gifts to the stage for all to enjoy. She is often compared to dynamic speakers like her personal favorite, Iyanla Vanzant. To that she says, ” I am humbled by the comparison. I only hope that my words will inspire and encourage others to overcome their challenges the way Iyanla’s books and ministry has done for me ever since I was a teenager. ”
