Page 6 December 24, 2020 EL SEGUNDO HERALD Sabina from page 3 became one of the first female technicians for General Motors. “I loved fixing something that didn’t work,” says Sandoval, “…but still always had my kit rockin’.” After this relationship ended, she moved to Utah, where she fell in love and entered what she describes as one of the best relationships of her life for another ten years. In her Utah years, she ran several successful businesses, including an auto repair shop and a food truck (before the trend), serving Costa Rican food. Some time into living in Salt Lake City, she started a drum circle in Liberty Square Park, a circle which still meets today, but that she says may need a facilitator in her absence. “They need guidance,” she explains, “If the circles don’t have guidance in some way, even a peripheral guidance, they turn bad.” Without a director and a direction, she says, drugs and alcohol can come into play as people are dancing to the beat and feeling euphoric. Though her past taught her how to be a musician and play in the back for a band, she has since transformed into such a facilitator, running the show and providing that guidance for her drum circles. Unfortunately, this transformation did not come easily. Becoming this leader would see her moving back to California, where she began volunteering at a domestic violence center to give back to the community. She became an entertainer in Venice Beach on the weekends, honing her skills and becoming a talented soloist with a fifteen-piece double bass Tama kit, which she affectionately calls a “spaceship.” Over the next few years, her talent grew with practice. “Music isn’t frivolous,” she declares. Musicians around the city began to hear about the female percussionist in Venice, and she began to have celebrity artists come and stand behind her to observe her playing. She knew she was reaching her peak as an artist at her craft. But soon, all of this came to a crashing halt. Back at the domestic violence shelter, whose location is hidden for the protection of victims, a member’s boyfriend had followed her to the shelter and tried to enter. Sabina saw what was about to happen, so she intervened. Both she and the other woman were violently attacked, and she sustained major injuries to her back and neck, causing damage that limited her range of motion, and therefore her drumming. Her Venice Beach performing career as she knew it was done. Eventually, working through her injury, she picked up a hand drum and started fresh. She began to work for a special needs activity program for kids, as well as a teen crisis center, bringing drums in to get the kids on rhythm, teach them about bullying and being a bystander, and give them a chance to dance to their own beat. She took this new path and ran with it, making her Free to be Me, program official, getting donations from Guitar Center, and recruiting volunteers to help run the events. She eventually bought a gym and franchise called We Rock the Spectrum, giving kids with autism a safe place to play. Between Free to be Me, We Rock the Spectrum, and a business called Unique Reflections Art Program started by a friend of hers, she had a full, thriving business making a difference in the South Bay and all over LA County. These days business is tough. She had to walk away from the gym. Her school events have been put on hold. Her volunteers are under safer at home orders. But she still drums every day and hopes to continue her program in the future. “Life isn’t about the destination,” she reminds us. “It’s about the journey.” For more information, or to hire or volunteer at Free to be Me, visit freetobemedrumcircle.com. • Christmastime is a time for giving to others and spending time with the ones you love!! - Love U, Mom PUBLIC NOTICES PUBLISH YOUR PUBLIC NOTICES HERE ABANDONMENTS: $125.00 ABC NOTICES: $125.00 DBA (Fictitious Business Name) $75.00 NAME CHANGE: $200.00 Other type of notice?
