Chicago based fashion designer, recording artist, and author Sophia Dias, is excited to share her life story with the world with her new ‘Blindee Preuve’ (Bullet Proof) biography currently available on Amazon for digital purchase.
The tell all biography is part of the Bullet Proof trilogy; which also includes her 7-track album recorded at Tuff Gong studios in Jamaica and is seeking an investment for a full-length movie.
Sophia is raw and honest about her life, marriage and work; detailing abuse, abandonment and moving from being a multi-millionaire to extreme poverty in one fail swoop. She believes the title for the autobiography, album and movie – Bullet Proof – is quite fitting as she felt horrifically attacked as though she was facing a firing squad and that the financial, physical and emotional cruelty was designed by her tormentors to crush her spirit.
“I believe that people should read my book as it shows several characters, whose only resolve was to oppress me, to isolate me from society and to cause me in-imaginable suffering on a day-to-day basis. Telling my story was liberating; the past no longer defines me, it took tremendous amount of courage and discipline to rise and create a new life for myself. I have moved on to a happier, peaceful place in my life with my 4 pet family. I continue to thrive on helping others,”
“It’s really a story of hope, no matter what trials you may be facing there is a possibility of healing. The trauma and suffering that I endured and rose above it through inner strength, God’s blessings and help from people across the globe is a testimony to inspire others.”
FWM: Tell us about your book.
My book is called BLINDEÈ PREUVE = translated into English , means BULLET PROOF.
I basically invested 17 years of my life helping build a former spouse’s company worldwide, physically working in factories, offices etc. Once the company began to successfully take off, I was abandoned by my former spouse, I was homeless and had no access to the millions of monies we generated throughout the marriage.
Several people ganged up to cause me great suffering and took great pleasure in inflicting tremendous pain upon me.
I am taking my Company DIAS Designs now, from the “Ground Up,” Phoenix Rising.
Many people, friends, former colleagues have invested in me across the globe and want me to succeed.
FWM: How have you persevered?
I have persevered by discipling my mind and body including daily runs of 12k. Attending gym workouts daily, reading my Bible, creating new recipes especially soups and I am currently writing my second culinary book SABIÓ DEUX.
I also love spending time with my 4 pets. Two of my cats, Salvatoré and Santorini are adopted from PAWS and Mr. Solar my 3rd cat is adopted from Anti Cruelty Society. My Bernese Mountain dog Mr. Santos is now, 7 years old.
FWM: Tell us about bringing your story to film.
It is a tremendous project to bring the autobiography to the movie screen. I began working with Sharry Flaherty, CEO of Samera Entertainment, several years ago. She was the key person who encouraged me to write.
I wrote a 7-track album, also titled Bullet Proof, which I recorded at TUFFGONG recording studio. The music from the album, will be used in the feature movie, Bullet Proof.
I was introduced to Ranelle Golden the screenwriter for Bullet Proof by Sharry Flaherty. I believe that Ranelle has done a tremendous job in writing the movie script. We have approached Priyanka Chopra Jonas, team we would like for her to be the lead character in the feature movie.
It is important for the world to know what happened to me, especially inside ROOM #3010. The Judicial systems across the world should know how I was treated.
I had ‘no rights’ inside ROOM #3010. I was treated as a ‘stray animal.‘ One day, I was a self-made millionaire and the next day, I was homeless. The person presiding inside ROOM #3010 sided with the wealthy person.
I had no savings, no checking account, no retirement account, no credit card. NOTHING.
What happened to me, should NEVER HAPPEN to another human being.
FWM: Are you looking for investors?
Yes, I am definitely looking for investors (I prefer the term PARTNERS) who have a say in the process. I shall be sending you the ROI for our partners separately. Interested investors/Partners can reach me at directly at dias@diasinternational.com

FWM: What is the greatest lesson that you have learned?
The greatest lesson that I learned is, there are many tremendously kind, generous, loving and giving people across the world. I learned to ask for help without feeling ashamed of my then circumstances.
