MY STORY

My name is Sofiyat, but everyone calls me Sofi now (it’s a nickname I am getting used to), and I am the creator of The Odditty. Ever since I was young, I was told to stay "normal" and stop being so "extra" These words always made me feel left out or excluded because no one could see the extent to which the creative "me" wanted to come out.

I soon started a diary that helped me process my thoughts and emotions in ways that nothing else did. So, I started this page as an escape and created my moniker “the odditty” to show just how odd I genuinely am, and what I have learned is that I am ODD, I am UNIQUE, and I am SPECIAL in my way.

That journey took a bit of time to get used to, but here I am, and I am excited to share all of me with you! This space is for anyone like me who enjoys laughing, and reading and wants to exist as a person with no holds barred. I enjoy being multifaceted, and as you see from all my pages, I enjoy laughing at myself, writing thoughtful pieces, and helping people achieve their level of success, all of this while maintaining who they are. I aim to create an avenue for those women, our little "odd fam.”
