I believe history guides the present, no matter where you are in the world. And fittingly so, my parents named me after the American abolitionist Sojourner Truth – a women’s rights activist born into U.S slavery as Isabella Baumfree.

Once free, Isabella also freed herself of her enslaved name as she set out to spread the word of equality and abolition. As Sojourner Truth, with sojourner meaning “someone who resides in a place temporarily,” she paved the way for myself and generations of  women  to even have the opportunity to pursue our dreams. No pressure, right? 😅 

Therefore, as a literal sojourner, I encourage my community to do the same through Sojournies. A play on my name and paying homage to my namesake, it is the path I am paving to help others find their own freedom and flexibility outside the office by plane, train, or even solo!
