Sonya Lennon: stand on the shoulders of the fear that holds you back

She’s the host of our ieStyle Live events — opportunities for women to hear inspirational guest speakers and see the latest fashion trends. But it’s also a space for women to network, and support each other in the workplace, and that’s never been more important, Sonya Lennon tells Ruth O’Connor

Sonya Lennon: ‘Equality, empowerment and confidence is at the core of everything we do at Lennon Courtney, it’s who we are.’

One could call Sonya Lennon many things - a fashion designer, a business person, a social entrepreneur, an innovator, a co-founder, a public speaker, a feminist, a mother. One of her friends calls her and her partner ‘The Jam Factory’. That is to say, they’re lucky. But Lennon believes that you make your own luck.

“There is a book called The Luck Factor which looks at the science behind luck,” Lennon tells me.
