Mia Schaikewitz (She/Her):
At 15 years old, an Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) ruptured in Mia’s spinal cord, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. With resilient determination and a positive attitude, Mia finished high school, then attended the University of Florida where she excelled socially and academically, becoming the first woman in a wheelchair at the school to rush and pledge a sorority and graduated with top honors in Media Production. After college, Mia moved to Los Angeles where she worked in the recording industry and later developed an award-winning career in graphic design and branding. In 2012, Mia became one of the stars of the hit TV show Push Girls on the Sundance Channel which inspires audiences internationally and won the Critic's Choice Award for “Best Reality Series” in 2013. In addition to her dynamic career pursuits, Mia is an advocate for diversity and inclusion in the workforce and media. She maximizes her time public speaking, giving back to the community, and participating in multiple adaptive sports. Mia is a founding member of Infinite Flow. She is proud to be part of an organization that pushes for change and influences humanity. Shaheem Sanchez (He/Him):
Shaheem Sanchez is a talented self-taught dancer who went deaf at the age of 4. Shaheem always loved to dance and wouldn't let his inability to hear the music change that. So, he taught himself how to detect the music's vibrations instead, letting the feeling drive his rhythm. He comes from a family of dancers, who call themselves “Family First Crew”. They competed in Family Dance Off in 2013 and placed second. Sanchez now lives in LA and is pursuing many opportunities in the dance industry. In addition to getting his personal story out to various mediums, he is working on a TV show and a movie. He is out to make a difference in the deaf community through his love of dance. Sanchez wants to demonstrate that regardless of their inability to hear, deaf people can do anything they desire. Most recently, Shaheem made his actor debut on the Oscar-winning film  Sound of Metal  and made a solo appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremonies. Shaheem has been dancing regularly with Infinite Flow since 2016. About Your Host: Marisa Hamamoto (She/Her):

Warner Bros. Studio Store used to be a chain of retail stores operated by Warner Bros. Entertainment. These stores sold various merchandise related to Warner Bros.&#39;s films, television shows, and cartoons. However, many of these stores closed in the early 2000s due to various factors, including changes in consumer shopping habits and corporate strategies. As of my last update, there may still be some Warner Bros.
