The Woman Code: 20 Powerful Keys to Unlock Your Life
SAN ANTONIO - April 1, 2015 - PRLog -- [San Antonio, Texas] 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 that this “Woman Code” governs how women think, live, act, and treat one another. Nelson will be here in San Antonio, Texas Thursday, April 2, 2015-Easter Sunday as a keynote speaker at Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.’s South Central Regional Conference hosted by Regional Director Chelle Luper Wilson.

Regional Director Chelle Wilson said, “This is the second time we have had Sophia Nelson speak to our membership. She gave the undergraduate keynote speech in 2013 in New Orleans and received two standing ovations for her insights on the importance of women honoring themselves. This year she will speak at our leadership breakfast, and we are excited to have her bring a great message from her new book on how to help women lift each other, as we ourselves climb.”

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, CNN, 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.”

This is Nelson’s second trip to San Antonio in less than six months, to headline an event. She was the keynote speaker last October at the Who’s Who San Antonio Women Awards gala. Where she spoke to prominent San Antonio women in the Corporate, Political, and Public sector. The event was sold out and drew hundreds of San Antonio’s finest from the Chambers of Commerce to the power and influencers of City Hall.

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, and 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 andrelational experiences. The Codes create a roadmap of timeless values coupled with modern-day approaches tohelp 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 Woman Code garnered impressive national and regional media attention in over 25 media markets, as well as media in Canada, South America and England.
