Former White House reporter, prominent political and cultural commentator, Sophia A. Nelson, says all women live by a Code, whether they realize it or not. Nelson’s second book, The Woman Code, debuted in October 2014 as an instant national bestseller and was featured in national magazines and major media outlets including NPR, Family Circle, Essence magazine, Ebony magazine, Publishers Weekly, TBN, Black Enterprise, The Huffington Post, The Daily Caller, American Business Journals and Business Insider. She says, “It is time for us as women to start looking for what we need inside of us, instead of always looking to be validated by what or who is outside of us. When a woman isn't living by the Code, her life is out of balance.” 

Sophia Nelson is a woman on the move, with an emerging global platform that is making strides to help women rede fine themselves and unlock their lives by tapping into the power within. Nelson is an American award-winning author and journalist. Her work and advice have been endorsed by top writers, journalists and businesswomen including Mika Brzezinski, Chris Jansing, Serita Jakes and Soledad O’ Brien. A former Congressional Committee counsel and corporate lobbyist, Nelson left her legal practice in 2008 to pursue her childhood passion to become a journalist. In 2009, she became a freelance reporter and White House correspondent for JET magazine and various other outlets. She is now a noted TV and radio personality, as well as a highly sought aft er motivational speaker and corporate leadership trainer for Fortune 500 companies, non-profits and major universities. She contributes regularly to national media outlets. 

Nelson has also appeared on the BBC, NBC’s Today and World News with Diane Sawyer. She has contributed feature articles to USA Today, Essence magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and The Washington Post.
