- Words and photography by Lia Crowe
I meet Sonia one brisk and bright November morning on a downtown street corner as she runs between interviews. The woman who greets me is hard to miss; sheB次元官网网址檚 glowingly gorgeous, dressed in stand-out style and vibrating with the energy of someone who is in perfect alignment with what sheB次元官网网址檚 doing.
She immediately credits the team behind her hair and makeup, joking that she certainly didnB次元官网网址檛 wake up like this. I only have a few minutes to capture a photo of her gorgeous style, but itB次元官网网址檚 not a problem: the woman is a pro. SheB次元官网网址檚 easygoing, knows her angles and is comfortable in her skin.
Working as a medical lab technician in her mid-20s, Sonia decided to go back to school to study broadcasting B次元官网网址� uncertain of where it would lead her.
B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檝e always been a performer, never shy of the camera. I knew I wanted to tell good stories and bring positivity into peopleB次元官网网址檚 lives through my platform. So with that intention in my heart, my career has evolved to where I am now.B次元官网网址�
If Sonia had to choose one aspect of her work that gets her fired up, she says, B次元官网网址淲hen I get to sit down and dive deep into a topic with a guest. I love learning, and some of the guests that come on our show are so enlightening.B次元官网网址�
Always curious about the ingredients that add up to a personB次元官网网址檚 success, I ask Sonia if she has adopted any daily practices that fuel her upward momentum.
B次元官网网址淒aily gratitude,B次元官网网址� she answers. B次元官网网址淓very single day I walk through my work doors and I thank God for the opportunity. I havenB次元官网网址檛 missed a day and never will.B次元官网网址�
Best life lesson learned in the last five years?
She says: B次元官网网址淗ave faith in yourself and the process of life and trust that all things work together for the good if you stay positive.B次元官网网址�
When it comes to style, Sonia describes her personal style as a classic look with a touch of glamour. B次元官网网址� B次元官网网址淚 admire when people are polished, put together but not over-the-top.B次元官网网址�
