Sophia reflects on her upbringing, her connection to Afghanistan, and her decision to work in finance before realizing her desire for more meaningful work. She shares pivotal moments in her life, including her involvement in drafting Pakistan's drugs policy and her journey in the fashion trade by launching the global fashion trend for pashmina shawls, helping to fund 250 village schools for girls on the Afghan-Pakistan border and moving the needle on Nepal’s GDP. Sophia also discusses her passion for education and empowering women, her efforts to support women entrepreneurs, such as GEDI, a woman-owned, impact investing venture capital firm, and her recent work in Afghanistan. She invites listeners to support Future Brilliance, a mission-driven venture focused on empowering women in Afghanistan and other regions.
