About Sonya Z.


Sonya Z. Phillips is a native of Virginia Beach, VA. She is a US Army Veteran that graduated from Old Dominion University with a BS in Biology and International Business. She is also a NACCC Certified Career and Credit Counselor that empowers others as a Financial Coach with her business The Wealthy Socialight. Sonya is a serial entrepreneur and wears many hats….one just happens to be made of rhinestones.

Her business journey began as the Fashion Designer and Sewing Instructor for Stretch Couture, a sustainable fashion brand. She started her business as a self taught seamstress but has since studied under Marc Jacobs and is currently enrolled in a course taught by Fashion Revolution titled "Fashion's Future: The Sustainable Development Goals" which explores the fashion industry’s impact on people and the planet, as well as how the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are linked to fashion. Sonya has showcased her designs in many fashion shows including New York Fashion Week and around the world. She has been featured in magazines, calendars and videos as a Fashion Designer and Model. She currently teaches Fashion and Design at Baila Fuzion Dance and Creative Arts Center and privately teaches aspiring fashion designers how to start their fashion brands.

Sonya has over 10 years of experience as a Notary Public and is also a NNA Certified Mobile Notary Signing Agent with her business VA Document Divas Notary Service.

​Sonya spends most of her time serving her community. She was Ms. Plus Culture Galaxy 2021 (the very 1st “Plus” Culture Galaxy”). She is now the Assistant Pageant Director of Miss/Ms. Culture Galaxy Pageants. She is a Clean Water Captain with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Events Coordinator/ 2nd Vice President for the Pembroke Manor Civic League, and mentor with Envision Lead Grow. Sonya is the Youth Committee Chair of the National Council of Negro Women Norfolk Section, Media/Communications Coordinator with the Tidewater Coalition For The People, Secretary of the Young Peoples Guild as well as a volunteer with the Virginia Beard Festival and the Young Investors Group.

Currently she is building her personal development brand, The Sexxxy Unicorn, which is focused on Self-love, Self-discovery and Sisterhood. This includes monthly events for women and the SeXXXy Sista Circle Podcast which is designed for professional women that embrace their sexy side because "SeXXXy is a state of mind!"

​
When time permits, Sonya loves to travel, eat tasty things, play the drums and shop for books that she will someday have time to read. She is proud to also claim the title of Author with her first book “Sister Leaders” which will be released October 28th in conjunction with the Sister Leaders Conference.
