Her work has been published in The Guardian, Foreign Policy, and The Atlantic, and she has filed dispatches from conflict and election coverage across the Middle East, South Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa — bringing ground-level reporting to audiences that too often receive only wire-service summaries of complex political realities. Over 18 years, Sophia has interviewed heads of state, senior diplomats, military officials, and civil society leaders across 30+ countries.
