Happiness Solved with Sandee Sgarlata. In this episode, Sandee interviews Sonia Lewis. Sonia Lewis has been described as fearless and unflinching; driven by the integrity of hard work; a dreamer and problem solver; and a bully to the bullies with power and influence. Sonia Lewis co-founded ASCRIBE Educational Consulting on February 13, 2009, while sitting in a booth at Stage Coach Restaurant in Sacramento, CA, while having birthday brunch with a friend. They wrote a mission and vision statement on napkins. Sonia channeled how supported she felt at age 7 when she daringly challenged liberty and justice for all. Core to her dream for ASCRIBE was to lean on equity and resources for the most marginalized in community. A former high school Social Studies teacher and Program Director, Sonia took a leap of faith into the world of entrepreneurship. She is a visionary and isn't willing to accept the norm, as the standard we are forced to accept.

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge talks to anti-racism impact strategist and the CEO of https://www.ascribesuccess.com/ (Ascribe Educational Consulting), Sonia Lewis. Sonia shares that she has done this work for over ten years – and the last two years have seen quadruple the work for her, understandably.  Diversity, equity, and inclusivity should be a part of each and every organization, no matter how small. Every team member should feel a part of the whole, and Sonia works strategizing and developing how to make an inclusive space for every member of a team. Sonia shares that they facilitate a lot of conversations – and do a lot of listening. Sonia also talks about what doesn't work and they collaborate with these organizations to help develop that team inclusivity. Josh shares his take – we all have blind spots. Sonia shares some ways to educate yourself. Individuals who have worked hard and worked their way up to achieve their goals sometimes don't realize how many others missed out on those opportunities. The United States is a talent-resource rich country. No one is coming to take what you have, which is a primary fear that many groups feel, Sonia shares. That's just not reality – equity comes with having perspective on your own situation.  Equity is about meeting the needs of those who are most marginalized, disenfranchised, and most vulnerable in an organization. More often, those individuals are black, indidgenous, female, LatinX, LGTBQ+, and/or a lower socioeconomic status. Equity means creating opportunities for those in these marginalized groups. The truth is, it will never be an even playing field, and that's what equity is all about.  Josh and Sonia also discuss how they've heard entrepreneurs struggling to hire a diverse team. It's all down to how you treat people and the world around you. Everything you say and do impacts how you're perceived, and if your company culture isn't dialed in, having a truly inclusive and diverse team just isn't possible. Positive messages of inclusion are absolutely essential. Sonia also shares some of her incredible background. She shares that her experiences have helped her to spread the message that children should be seen and heard. Encouraging children to be open about their struggles, especially those in marginalized communities, is critical to fostering a better future generation.  According to her website, Sonia Lewis's debut children's book focuses on encouraging children to trust their voice and adults to do the same. Be ready for reflective questions, insightful conversation, and a new perspective on how children see and experience the world.

“Born a rebel she experienced alienation early. But that never deterred her from her life's purpose. Her father dealt with his struggles very differently than her mother and she learned from them both.

For Sonia Lewis it all started at age 7, when she refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance because she didn't see "liberty and justice for all," especially those who looked like her, her family, and her community. Earning degrees in History and Psychology, a Master's in Education and teaching for nearly 20 years were all foundational to the vision of ASCRIBE Educational Consulting, LLC and EDIFY Humanity 501c3. From age 7 to now, at the center of Sonia's motivation is humanity and belonging. She is on a mission to rectify the harm and oppressions of racism....and is unflinching in asking the tough questions, facing uncomfortable truths, and building on equity driven outcomes. Acknowledging that we all have perpetuated norms based on conditionings from a white supremacy lens has divided our collective ability to stand in solidarity rather than compete in oppression Olympics. In building a future that is anti-racist, humanity must matter, and equity needs to be at the center of the equation. There is no better time than the present to fight for those most marginalized and disenfranchised by a system with the intent to deny access to wealth, life, liberty, and justice. Get ready for a conversation with Sonia Lewis, a mother, wife, influencer, entrepreneur, and all around unapologetic yet authentic Black magical force to be reckoned with....brace yourself for a true heart to heart for change.

In this episode, I'm joined by an anti-racism specialist and founder of ASCRIBE Educational Consulting, Sonia Lewis, to talk about racism in healthcare.  Inequality in our hospitals Sonia is a trained doula and mom so she knows a lot about childbirth. She shares how many people of color find it challenging to articulate their needs when they seek medical treatment. She recommends people articulate their needs and make sure they document anything that happens during a consultation.  What does a 'just' health system look like? Sonia describes a just health system as one where everyone has access. Equality means it does not matter what your status is, you are treated with the same level of care as everyone else.  She also believes bedside manner is key, if a healthcare professional listens to their patient it creates a far better experience. Being your own advocate and feeling like you have agency are also important components to a fair system.  Don't miss this important conversation about what we can all do to create a fairer system. Sonia shares one of her most challenging situations in a hospital and what she did to demand a good outcome.  Sonia's Link https://www.drlesliek.com/ About The Adulting With ADHD Podcast It's not just you – we aren't talking enough about ADHD and hormones.

Episode: Continuous Improvement and Getting to the Root of Belonging with Sonia Lewis Sonia Lewis joins me to delve into what it really takes to get to the roots of belonging and how to improve belonging within an organization.  You'll find Sonia on the frontlines of many social justice movements as she works to change the many systemic, institutional and structural inequities. For over a decade, Sonia has been on a mission to marry equity/humanity work with social justice/cultural shifting of mindsets. At the end of the day, her battle cry is "The Future is Anti-Racist and we all have a part to play." We're talking about the part continuous improvement professionals have to play in anti-racism and improving belonging in the organizations they have a chance to impact. SONIA WILLIAMS LEWIS  Sonia is an experienced Chief Executive Officer with a demonstrated history of working in the professional training & coaching industry. She describes herself as an Anti-Racism impact strategist and her mission is to create a society that values equity and humanity. She works at the intersection of anti-racism work and belonging within organizations.  Sonia wants the fight against racism to take into account present-day realities rather than just rely on history lessons. CONNECT WITH SONIA LEWIS LinkedIn :https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonia-williams-lewis-m-ed-0b166b50/   Website: https://www.ascribesuccess.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/soniasaidittho?lang=en          Key topics in this podcast: What is racism and how does it impact Black people overall and specifically within organizations? What is Sonia's advocacy within diversity and equity all about and what has driven her since her childhood? How have the twin pandemics of COVID and racism come together to create urgent problems organizations must solve? Why “belongingness” is vital in organizations and how organizations can improve. What are the ways in which organizations can change to make sure that everyone's voice is being heard? Why mission and vision statements are important foundations for an organization's goal alignment.  How to differentiate between equality and equity?         KEY TAKEAWAYS Racism is ubiquitous but there are multiple ways to improve belongingness in your organization. Leaders must work on equity and belonging within the company – and what we already know about features of lean culture – like respect for people and the need for psychological safety can also be used to improve belonging.  Belongingness helps organizations to improve their bottom line and increase productivity. Equity, belongingness, and humanity are important. Humanity is important and if humanity is important, that means everyone who shows up is important and should be valued. The Continuous improvement professional has a key role and key opportunities to increase belongingness in an organization.   Words of wisdom or Tweet-ables  Sonia Lewis' advice for a young person ‘'Trust your gut… your gut is very intuitive as to who you are and you should trust it.''  

A Natomas Unified School District high school had a college-credit civics teacher so well loved that they advertised a student-made video about him on their website.   Last spring, that same teacher was voted to deliver the commencement speech to the graduating class.   But today?   Today, Superintendent Chris Evans has scrubbed that teacher's video from the website, posting instead a 30-minute interview he held with a far-right agitator who once said that Jews owned the banks.   We're joined by equity educator Sonia Lewis to discuss the ridiculous story of how a Sacramento school district sided with proto-fascist agitators from Project Veritas in smearing one of the district's most well loved teachers.   We also touch on what Sacramento media got wrong in covering this ridiculous story.   Thanks for listening, defund the police and, as always: Twitter: @youknowkempa, @ShanNDSTevens, @Flojaune, @guillotine4you Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/voicesrivercity   Sacramentans can hear us on 103.1 KUTZ Tuesdays at 5 pm and again Wednesdays at 8 am.   If you require a transcript of our episodes, please reach out to info@voicesrivercity.com and we'll make it happen.   And thank you to Be Brave Bold Robot for the tunes.

Key topics: Sonia's decision to not salute American Flag when she was seven Sonia's experience growing up in Richmond, California with a father who was one of the founders of the Black police officer's association Historical background of the US educational system and the perpetuation of systemic racism Why it's essential to be able to talk about race in schools What really is Critical Race Theory How white supremacists are playing on the ignorance and fears of many white people and distorting the definition of critical race theory The history of racism in the US includes racism against, Asians, Latinos, Native Americans and also antisemitism Jim Crow laws that stopped Black people from voting, owning property, getting education and keeping segregation Could some of the pushback against Critical Race Theory be   due to shame that some people feel about how people of  color have been treated?

Sonia Lewis educates with removing shame and blame of individuals from the equation of racism.  She teaches ways to confront racism, implicit biases, and microaggressions with shared language and values that lift anti-racism and brings down anti-blackness; as well as ways to personally develop into the ally and abolitionist needed to fight in the now for those who lack privilege and proximity.    Sonia helps us call a thing a thing, face it and not shy away from the implications of harm associated with the reality of racism.   It all started at age 7 when she refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance because she didn't see "liberty and justice for all," especially those who looked like her, her family, and her community. Earning degrees in History and Psychology, a Master's in Education, and teaching for nearly 20 years were all foundational to the vision of ASCRIBE Educational Consulting, LLC and EDIFY Humanity 501c3.    At the center of Sonia's motivation is humanity and belonging. She is on a mission to rectify the harm and oppressions of racism....and is unflinching in asking the tough questions, facing uncomfortable truths, and building on equity-driven outcomes.    Acknowledging that we all have perpetuated norms based on conditionings from a  white supremacy lens has divided our collective ability to stand in solidarity rather than compete in oppression olympics. In building a future that is anti-racist, humanity must matter and equity needs to be at the center of the equation.    There is no better time than the present to fight for those most marginalized and disenfranchised by a system with the intent to deny access to wealth, life, liberty, and justice.    Get ready for a conversation with Sonia Lewis, a mother, wife, influencer, entrepreneur, and all-around unapologetic yet authentic Black magical force to be reckoned with....brace yourself for a true heart to heart for change.   Learn more about Sonia here: https://www.ascribesuccess.com   ______________________________________________ I'm so excited to share another podcast episode with you, the Fearless Freedom tribe!  I appreciate you and I'm so honored that you are listening, subscribing, and sharing the podcast with your friends.  It's thanks to you and the amazing guests that this podcast a success!   ______________________________________________ The Podcasting Launch Course for Professionals has birthed several new podcasts.  Be sure to check out the podcasts from the amazing women who launched podcasts after taking the course.

Today in the guest chair we have Sonia Lewis, the CEO of the Student Loan Doctor, LLC. Her business has been recognized as the first African American and woman-owned student loan repayment company in the country.  You might be surprised to hear that before starting the Student Loan Doctor, Sonia didn’t have personal budgeting discipline, she was living paycheck-to-paycheck, and grappling with her own student loan debt. Even with a background and passion for higher education, Sonia was frustrated with the process of how to get information about her student loans and knew she had to do something.  She worked on her personal finances and eventually started working with clients to help them manage their student loan debt. Through trials, testing, and gathering feedback, Sonia now runs a six-figure business and employs a team of full time and contractors.     Listen on Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, Stitcher  This episode is brought to you by: FreshBooks Try FreshBooks FREE for 30 days.

Often times when we hear about entrepreneurship, we only hear about the stories of triumph over impossible odds or the daily challenges to become a formidable leader.

Relationships Struggle While Competing   By competing, we all strive to gain victory when we step out of that stage. However, the prepping process is not always easy. It’s a difficult plight. While your attention shifts to prepping for the competition, your relationship with family and friends is at risk of going down the drain. As a matter of fact, when you immerse yourself to competing, things are going to change. Relationships will be affected either negatively or positively depending on how well you address the foreseeable change. So, how do you strike a balance between your relationships and competing?
