Queen of the Week: Sophie, Leading with Heart 👑

When I decided it was time to let go of my seven-passenger family SUV, I wanted something smaller and more “me.” I thought a Rav4 might be the answer and even looked at a Camry, but nothing really clicked. I actually told my salesperson, “No 4Runners and definitely no white vehicles!” Funny how life works, because the moment I sat in a 4Runner, I just knew, it was the one. At the time, options were limited and the only 4x4 around happened to be white. Now I can’t imagine it any other way. My StormTrooper (Storm) has my whole heart.

Nia, the founder of Lady Yota’s, connected with me through the Toyota 4Runners Women Only group. As one of the Admin of the group, she messaged me one day asking if she could share a post about a new group she wanted to start. From that very first conversation, we clicked instantly! Since then, Lady Yota’s has grown so much and become such a strong, supportive community, empowering women who love their Toyotas just as much as we do.

Thank you for being one of the women who helped spark this movement and continues to show what true community looks like, strong, supportive, and driven by heart.
