“Miranda is a force of nature. If I were to use a sports analogy- I’d say Miranda is the ultimate force multiplier. It was her enthusiasm for artist advocacy that prompted me to speak my truth and enter the advocacy fold myself. I know I am not the only one. She is brave, kind and always on the side of the artist. ”
