Sonjia’s personal philosophy is encapsulated in a quote by James Cameron, “If you set your goals ridiculously high and it's a failure, you will fail above everyone else's success.” This mindset, along with inspiration from her favorite book, "Soar" by T.D. Jakes, underpins her approach to life and work. It's about aiming not just to achieve but to excel beyond conventional limits.
