Know Your Worth With Sophia Chang

Don’t know who Sophia Chang is? Read on.
Sophia Chang is essentially one of the “Baddest B*tches in the room.” She is the first Asian woman in hip hop. (I didn’t even know there were any Asian woman in hip hop) She has managed the careers of legendary hip hop artists such as RZA, ODB, Q-Tip, A Tribe Called Quest, and many more! Surprised? So was I. Chang has a strong physical presence. She prides herself on knowing exactly who she is and owning her power in creating the life she wants.

Why do you need to know Sophia Chang? Well for starters, if you hear her speak live like I did or on social media, you will be inspired and feel like you can take over the world. I met Sophia Chang at a networking event for women in business. She was the keynote speaker and gave us invaluable information about issues women of color in business face such as barriers to obtaining a mentor, creating business plans, pushing past insecurities and stereotypes.

Out of all the information that Sophia shared, her advice on “knowing your worth” was by far the most valuable to me. Not just knowing your worth in business but knowing your worth as a human being. Understanding that if something doesn’t serve you, it’s okay to walk away and let it go. What’s meant for you will always find you. As women, we tend to hold on to things that no longer serve us because we do not believe that we will find or deserve better. But the truth is that once we begin to embrace our talents and abilities and value ourselves, doors that were once closed begin to open.
