EP 12: Sonia Mugabo: On building the Sonia Mugabo fashion house, living with mental health challenges, and the joy of motherhood.

Send us Fan Mail In this week's episode, Sonia Mugabo, a Rwandan fashion entrepreneur sits with me to discuss her 10 year journey of building her Sonia Mugabo fashion house and brand. She shares the not so glamorous journey from making her own clothes to dressing prominent people such as Melinda Gates. One key insight in this journey is how she named the brand after her self for greater accountability. I thought that was quite cool! Sonia, a mental health advocate, does not shy away from her mental health challenges. She sees the value of sharing one's story for the greater good. She courageously narrates what she went through before receiving help, and how she navigates living with her diagnosis. Lastly, Sonia talks about her recent joys of marriage and motherhood and how she still strives towards a strong sense of personhood even as she takes on these new roles. I truly appreciated her generosity of spirit and I hope you do too! I am personally inspired to pursue a life that is filled with meaningful relationships.
