“[Nelson] says women should be strong, assured and responsible for their own actions and choices.This refreshing approach is both empowering and enlightening and should appeal to women of all ages.” —Publishers Weekly
PRLog - March 2, 2015 - WASHINGTON -- In honor of the start of Women's History Month, former White House reporter and prominent political and cultural commentator, Sophia A. Nelson, says all women live by a Code, whether they realize it or not and it's time they started to honor that Code.
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.”
In The Woman Code, Nelson draws from her personal faith and her vast experience as a corporate lobbyist, attorney, Capitol Hill Committee counsel and journalist, and offers 20 powerful “keys” to help women unlock their internal Code for living. “This book calls upon women of our time to connect cross-generationally, across racial and ethnic barriers, across socioeconomic groups and even across politics, to unlock the ‘Woman Code’ inside each of us,” Nelson says. “Together we can build better lives, a closer sisterhood, more meaningful professional achievements and a better world for us all.”
The Woman Code is broken into five sections that cover a woman’s personal, emotional, spiritual, professional and relational experiences. The Codes create a roadmap of timeless values coupled with modern-day approaches to help women face the challenges of our time, including:
• Knowing your value and worth
• Teaching people how to treat you
• Making peace with your past
• Leading from within
• Lifting other women as you climb
Nelson opens the book by connecting with women through a powerful and deeply personal introduction that lays the foundation for why she penned the book. The Woman Code, as New York Times bestselling author Arianna Huffington says, is indeed “a book for our time.”
The Woman Code launched worldwide in October 2014 with an eight-city book tour including speaking engagements and book signings in New York, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas and San Antonio. Nelson was the keynote speaker at the Who’s Who San Antonio Woman’s Conference and spoke at Bishop T.D. Jakes’ Woman, Thou Art Loosed! conference and the Pennsylvania Conference for Women. The WomanCode garnered impressive national and regional media attention in over 25 media markets, as well as media in Canada, South America and England.
