Sophia grew up in Tanzania in a household with her five siblings, where taking in guests and those in need was a way of life. Living in the country taught her to garden, and care for farm animals.

She talks about school there, where one has to choose three subjects which will determine your future path.

She was able to receive a diversity visa to come to the United States to study to become a pharmacist. This visa is given by lottery.

She lived with her cousin in Virginia and was so surprised to see how many roads there were, especially that they were paved.

She chose pharmacy because she thought she could make a difference.
