About Sandra

From Ndola, Zambia to the United States — a life carried into words.


About the Author

Sandra Mubanga

Author of The Weight of Loving

Sandra Mubanga was born in 1970 in Ndola, Zambia, where she attended Sansa Primary School, Dominican Convent, and Saint Andrew's High School.

She studied Business Administration through the Institute of Commercial Management in the United Kingdom before relocating to the United States to begin a new chapter of her life. There, she trained in personal fitness through ISSA and is currently furthering her education in Healthcare Management.

Known for her hardworking nature, loyalty, and compassion, Sandra values resilience, honesty, and perseverance above all else — and considers her son and her grandchildren her greatest accomplishments.

Rather than turning to traditional therapy, Sandra chose to put her experience into words.

Writing became her path forward following the loss of her brother and, later, her husband. That decision became her debut memoir, The Weight of Loving.
