Publisher's summary

Please note: This clean version is meant for younger audiences. Sophia Chang wants to be out there inspiring and empowering as many people as possible through her words and actions—including and especially young women. Need to hear Sophia bare it all? Go to the explicit version.

Sophia Chang is a badass of the music industry. As the daughter of Korean immigrants in predominantly white suburban Vancouver, she grew up shunning the “model minority” myth. Armed with a fierce sense of independence, she moved to New York City and infiltrated the world of hip-hop, yet remained mostly in the shadows of the artists she supported. With her debut memoir, Sophia Chang is finally ready to grab the mic for herself. This inspiring story spans her adventures in the music business, her path to becoming an entrepreneur, as well as her candid accounts of marriage, motherhood, marginalization, and martial arts.

For decades, she worked behind-the-scenes helping remarkably talented men tell their stories, including rap and R&B stars like the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA, GZA, and ODB, as well as A Tribe Called Quest, Raphael Saadiq, and D’Angelo. As an A&R rep in her mid-20s, her world underwent a seismic shift upon encountering a formidable group of nine MCs known as the Wu-Tang Clan. That union would send her on a transformational odyssey, leading her to an enigmatic Shaolin monk who would become her partner, an enduring kung fu practice, two children, and a reckoning with what type of mother, lover, and woman she ultimately wanted to be.

In this Audible Original by Hello Sunshine, Sophia Chang drops knowledge about her motivating journey that took her from record label boardrooms to the Wudang mountains as she built a life shattering biases about Asian women. To this day, she declares she was “raised by Wu-Tang”, and she brings da ruckus as the baddest b*tch in the room. At last, her memoir shows the world exactly what that means.

The Memoir I Didn't Know I Needed!

Not only did I need to read this beautifully fleshed out memoir, but I needed to hear Ms. Chang tell it herself! Adding the voices of those who were part of her life further enriched this audio. I was educated, enlightened, and inspired to be my own version of Baddest B*tch in the Room! All of the elements of this project satisfied! Much like spices adding more deliciousness to a meal, I gladly devoured every word! Looking for an example of walking out of what is "supposed" to be your normal, in order to live your authentic self out loud? Try this book!

Hands down to #TheBaddestB*tchInTheRoom

I loved hearing her story; narration was heartfelt and real. I grew up in Queens, New York and music and entertainment is my life. Listening to her story gave me flashbacks of my childhood. That era was amazing, music was deep, artists were raw and transparent.

Sophia Chang is Amazing

I loved cheered on agreed with and respected her strength throughout the book and how she came through the struggles of life she killed so many stereotypes that women face today just by being that boss bitch. im surprised who all she knew in the industry and managed who were some straight up rough and tough guys on the streets and in real life i loved how she let no one dictate how she was going to love. sex.. live..learn . parent...work or play I will definitely recommend this book .
