Dr. Dana Show & Tell Confirms, 'Our Time is Now!' Chart your Own Course with Sonia Stinson

Welcome to Dr. Dana Show and Tell. My name is Dr. Dana Churchill, and I'll be your host today. And I want to bring on an amazing, powerful woman who started a new business. And her name is Sonia Stinson. Come on in, Sonia. Hi, doctor. Nice to see you. Not only that, she's helping to empower women all over the world. So let's hear a little bit of brief about your past and then roll it into your new line and everything. You got it. Born in Cairo, Egypt. We came to the United States when I was in first grade. Life was not easy, not knowing the language, et cetera. Fast forward, I told my Egyptian parents that I wanted to be in the beauty industry. I picked them up off the floor, and they said, the parents fainted. They fainted. No, they fainted. And I said to them, I'll do whatever, because that's what a good girl does. I'll do whatever, go to school, business, et cetera. Well, you probably would have to move out if you didn't. Move out, we're not allowed. Oh, okay. Not allowed, until you get married. Oh, I get it, okay. Yeah, that's the rules. Anyway, so I wanted to be in the industry, and one of the reasons I honestly wanted to be, because nobody looked like me. I wanted there to be somebody that looks different than what all the other girls looked like. And I got my first job on Lancome Cosmetics at the Broadway. They don't even have Broadway anymore. And I loved it. I love to empower women. I love to share knowledge. And that continued. I grew in the industry. I became an account executive for a number of different brands. I've worked for the top brands I'm very proud of. I've learned so much from the Estee Lauder companies and Nordstrom. Those were my teammates. Oh, I like Nordstrom. Beautiful, yeah. Yes, I know. I learned my work ethic from, and customer service. And doing more than is expected of you. So I did that, and just for, like you said, many, many years, over 35 years. And during COVID, I really saw the division and the things that we were all looking for. Division in our people, in our country? Yeah. And you know what? And I said, and that's where the name All Skin came from. We are all one. We're all skin. So I love the name. I said, okay, Sonia, maybe we got something here. We have to put something together. I love to empower women. I love to build relationships. And I believe that every minute is meant to be. We have divine appointments. And doors kept opening for me. And I said, okay, so maybe I'm going to do this thing. I'm going to do this thing. And what do I want to do with it? I want it to be simple. I want it to be pure and effective. And I want it to fit all skin. For all the line, all the product? It's for all skin. So I have five products. I don't want the woman to have to say, or the man, men love my product. The smell, again, you take vitamins, you eat fruits and vegetables, right? This is your vitamins and fruits and vegetables for your skin. On top? Yes. Okay. You don't eat it. Just, yes, for your skin. So I have a cleanser, a toner, and everything has fruit essence. And it has vitamins and citrus stem cell, your favorite. Oh, wonderful. Yes, citrus stem cell. So I'm doing it. At my age. I like that part. There's a lot of cosmetic companies, but I like where you just let the door, you said kind of in your mind, well, if the door is open, I'm going to continue this. Exactly. And you know what? That's pretty much what I've done. That's exactly. Follow the course of nature. Don't tell the universe what you're going to do. Just humbly listen. My favorite word, I tell people, there's one word that's the key to success. And what that word is? You said it, humble. If you're humble and you serve people, you'll have everything you ever wanted in your life. You don't want it anymore anyway. You don't care. The joy. That's the joy. Yes, the joy for others and the joy that my products could bring because it's not about an ego thing in products because it's the ego driven industry. You've done so much already in your life. You know. 20 may be harder, but now it's much, you know, you've been through all that. Yeah. Ups and downs and hardship and all kinds of stuff. But I love that I'm bringing this to you. Well, thank you for coming on today. My pleasure. Thank you so much. It was a pleasure. Thank you.
