#99: Powerful Women and The Feminist Lens: A Candid Talk with Sophie Lee

Unapologetic feminists unite in this episode, as I speak to Sophie Lee, a voice and visibility consultant for purpose-driven businesses. Sophie shares her journey from journalism to business journalism in China, and eventually to founding Electric Peach, a decentralised brand agency. We delve into the challenges of personal branding, female empowerment, and the importance of an intersectional feminist lens and how Sophie practises that in her life and business. Sophie also discusses her upcoming book, 'Beyond Palatable: A Manifesto for Unapologetic Women,' and her belief in social justice and dismantling patriarchal structures. This episode is a deep dive into navigating self-worth, accountability, and creating impactful change for all women. Hurrah!
