Dr. Sonyia Richardson • Author • Speaker • Advocate

​

​I believe that true transformation begins when we stop surviving and start thriving. For over two decades, I’ve walked alongside individuals, families, and communities as a counselor, professor, and advocate for mental wellness. My work—whether on stage, in print, or face-to-face—invites people to break free from spiritual roadblocks, embrace healing, and step boldly into purpose.

​

My book, Experiencing Greater: An Intimate Journey with God, takes readers through 31 powerful lessons using the character of Royalty as a spiritual guide. It’s more than a book—it’s a companion for anyone ready to release what holds them back and walk in divine alignment.

“This wonderfully written story reminds the reader that spiritual transformation is available to all…” — Portia York, Ph.D.

​

As a keynote speaker and workshop facilitator, I specialize in connecting faith, wellness, and culture. My talks aren’t just lectures—they’re experiences that ignite reflection, challenge assumptions, and leave people with practical tools for lasting change. From national conferences to intimate community gatherings, I create spaces where healing and inspiration meet.

​

I bring the depth of a professor, the compassion of a counselor, and the voice of an advocate who has stood in the halls of policy and community change. My work is:

• Grounded in research.

• Rooted in cultural sensitivity.

• Fueled by faith and real-world impact.

​

Whether you’re here to find a book that speaks to your soul, a speaker to inspire your audience, or a voice to partner in change—welcome. You belong here.
