Wordlife Artist
/wərd/ /līf/ /ˈärdəst/
Over the last 20 years, millions have appreciated Sonja Marie’s poetic prowess as one of three writers featured on the multiplatinum soundtrack, “Waiting to Exhale” with her song, “And I Gave My Love to You” and as a collaborator with musical icons such as Whitney Houston, Teena Marie, Cody Chesnutt and more.
Although music and poetry have afforded Sonja many opportunities to write – two solo poetry CD’s; five poetry anthologies, and a poetry eBook, “Thoughts and Wishes After the Storm” – she is equally proud of her work as CEO of Wordlife Astrology. Her company is dedicated to sharing the healing intentions of Western Astrology by way of Annual Retreats, Workshops, Lectures, Personal Readings and the Horoscope Columnist for ESSENCE Magazine 2014 – 2022 for over 3 million subscribers.
Sonja’s national television appearances include “The Steve Harvey Show” and “The Doctors”.

testimonies
“The WORD has always been the beginning! As a POET / SPEAKER / AUTHOR / COLUMNIST /
PERFORMER ... nothing is worth listening to if you don't have anything valuable to say.
My many expressions originate from a deeply felt truth that has travelled with me for
lifetimes...ultimately, on a mission to make us better human beings in this weird yet
glorious world!"
