"Having Kandace as an intimacy director on Ripped made me feel safe, capable, and autonomous. Kandace set the bar for what I deserve in a space where intimacy is required, and taught me [so] much about how to treat actors with fairness and compassion, just by watching her." -- Michael Amira Temple, actor
