Introducing AM I TOO LOUD?!

Hey Oddfam! Welcome to Am I To Loud, a podcast where being too much is never enough. I'm Sophie, aka The Audity, and this is your weekly dose of unapologetic authenticity. Together we'll break down the barriers of conformity, embrace the weird and challenge the status quo. From unhinged and untold stories from my life, to reacting in real time to world events and pop culture, nothing, and I mean nothing is off limits. We're going to dive into the stories that match up with a little humor and a whole lot of volume. So whether you've been told to quiet down, fit in, or just tone it down, this space is for you. So turn it up and raise your individuality and get ready to ask yourself, Am I too loud? Spoiler alert? No, you're not. Oh my god, y'all, am I too loud? I can't believe this is finally happening. Y'all, it has been so long, so many freaking years in the making, and I'm finally doing it. Welcome to Am I Too Loud, the podcast with Sophie, aka The Audity. Are you mad? Are you mad, bro? Are you shith? I'm telling you that name just feels like it is so me in the best way, and this particular episode is nothing crazy. Let's do a quick intro and tell y'all about who I am and what to expect from my freaking podcast, because everybody in their mom has a podcast. I know, I know, but nobody is going to do it like The Audity would. All right, are you kidding me? Is it not me? Have you been following me across that you know the odd family understands? I have been doing this for so long. I started social media in 2017, and I finally freaking decided enough is enough. I want to go offline, off socials are kind of through my own thing. And y'all, I don't know how I'm going to do this. I have no idea. I have nothing planned. All I knew is that I'm currently living in my dream city New York, and I am literally just trying to accomplish one of my biggest dreams. And I want to bring y'all along with me. This podcast is like my love letters to myself start doing things unapologetically. I also start sharing a little things more by myself. Oh, I thought you were telling you guys. I'm telling okay, I have like a whole production crew behind me. Like we're trying to go fancy here. Okay, like Sophie doesn't play when she's going to be starting this thing. All right, if you're listening to this on Spotify or any of the other like audio platforms. Hi, I'm going to be doing a whole video stunt. That's the video thing. See, I'm already starting. I'm going to be doing a whole video thing on YouTube so you can watch out like the full video speed, because y'all this this set like let's get into a real quick look at my set. Like I have a little like mug and like a sign and a chair. I feel like I'm so official right now in the best way. I started the oddity like T H E O D D I T T Y. The oddity is first of all a sort of like moniker for who I am Sophie when I first started social media just existing as a child. I was always the loudest in the room like the brightest the one who wanted all the attention the one who was so excited for so many things like I loved and thrived in like all the fun spaces and some of the hardest things for me is every time I'll be doing something there's that one person. Honestly, it's always those several people who are looking true and say, how are you doing too much? You know heard that? Have you heard that before? Like black women are too loud. Like you're too much. You're doing too much. Like you're doing too much. Always urged me because I was like, no, I'm not even doing enough. I want to do more. And I always struggled with figuring out what that too much even looks like. And so I decided to take that when I was in college when I first moved to America and that's a whole different story. This is so much I can't wait to share on this podcast. Essentially when I first moved to America and I was starting college, I would want to do like every single thing I was in like the UPC which is like the program council as she is sitting government. I was doing everything and all the friends of the time, most of them are not friends anymore would always tell me she's always just too much like why Sophie's always everywhere. And so I created this little side of my life where I could just be myself and just allow myself flourish. And so that's how the Audity was born because I literally googled why are you weird? And like synonyms were weird and I came up with the idea the Audity and that has absolutely changed my life. If you follow my journey, you know that everything I do online is simply just to excel and be the best version of myself. Effing societies ideas of what it is to be an African woman, a black woman, an international student, a pioneer, an entrepreneur, a creative. Like I don't think I exist in the mold. I think I exist outside of the mold and I think every single person on this earth exists outside of the mold too. And I feel like this is hopefully like that safe space for whoever feels like they are not sure. They just they've been trying to find their rhythm and their rhyme and everything else that feels like it's them and they've been struggling with it. I hope this is the safe space for you because I want to be talking about some crazy shit y'all. The first episode of this podcast is going to go crazy. Second episode even better and I'm just going to like want to really build on this and I want us to be on this journey together because there's so much I've never shared before and now I'm finally getting the chance to do so. I got my green card. So now I can then I'm going to chase me out of the border. Okay. Okay. Okay. Let's get into it. All right. I'm stable now. I feel like I am in a good rhythm with work. Like I have a stable job. And so now I feel like I can actually talk this shit and I mean it. So this is going to be a really, really exciting time in my life. I hope you enjoy the ride with me and again welcome to my too loud. So I want to be so fucking loud and I can't wait for y'all to experience it with me.
