I continue the conversation on breaking barriers with my guest Sonja Favors, an engineer and entrepreneur. Sonja talks about being true to who she is in spaces that don't always applaud her individuality. A Sonja quotable "Get to know who you are so you never show up anywhere as a representative. That You love your true self so much that you walk in your truth so that other people want to get to know you because of that truth". mypathhaspurpose.com Books about Juneteenth: for children: 1.
