Welcome To this Mother and Daughter
Special Edition of Business Fit Magazine
Hello, I am Verónica Sosa, Founder of Business
Fit International and Business Fit Magazine.
I am pleased and excited to be in collaboration
with my dear friend Vikki. As a mother myself and
as a fellow International Speaker and Business
Expert, we have travelled the world together
and have the same values. I started Business
Fit Magazine as a supportive platform which
creates additional awareness of exceptional
achievements, services and products from
female entrepreneurs. The core essence of these
businesses being to help build a better world,
one where our children can live in harmony.
I work hard for the recognition of women in the
world, day and night and I work for equality, for
the female power and her natural sensuality, for
the female intelligence both in heels and without
them. I am the Founder of SHE, (Seminaro
Hispanas Emprendedoras) a platform which
encourages women to shout out loud their
talents, businesses and contributions to the
world. We have welcomed speakers such as
Ismael Cala, who is one of the most well-known
leaders in the Hispanic personal development
arena. On 12 October we will be celebrating
our 5th anniversary in Brussels with other
inspirational speakers who are developing and
bringing amazing tools to our world. SHE is
produced annually and is a place where you can
surround yourself with great entrepreneurs.
I believe that women can collaborate, learn and
teach each other. I believe in #togetherisbetter.
Therefore, I am totally supportive of Vikki’s vision
and her aim to make a difference to the mothers
and daughters in the world through her events
and teachings.

Hello, I am Vikki Thomas and from my heart I
also welcome you to this Mother and Daughter
Special Edition of Business Fit Magazine, the story
behind Mother & Daughter Inc Workshops and
Events and its origin can be found inside, here I
am sharing the inspiration behind this magazine.
Verónica Sosa and I have been friends for over
three years and she truly is a soul sister to me.
I love her deeply. I have supported her with the
magazine as much as I could over these years, I
see how hard she works to deliver the messages
of all the contributors and is really making a
difference. I see the good things that happen and
the not so good. I also am a true believer of her
motto “Together is Better”.
During our last speaking tour together, I had
a brain wave, a download I call it. I am using
every cell in my body, every manifesting thought
ensuring that I deliver the most valuable teaching
to mums and daughters out there. I have a large
global network of people developed from three
years speaking on stages all over the world. So
why not look at supporting Business Fit and
Verónica by launching a Special Edition Magazine
in Los Angeles, (where I am holding my Mother
& Daughter event) and support and showcase
mums and daughters globally, where they can
share their stories of hardship, success, struggle,
whatever it may be, and I will fund the whole
process.
Everyone thought I was mad! However, I
downloaded the whole picture of what a success
this will be, for all involved.
I used social media to find the interviewees. I had
many people from all over the world reach out
to me, many that saw a FREE opportunity and
tried to use it to showcase their business and to
make money. That is not what this is about. This
is about giving women and girls a voice to inspire
others out there. I went with my soul in finding
the right contributors and I am very happy.
I was also looking for a wide range of stories and
I am blessed to have Raquel and Rhyan involved.
This connection is a true representation of my
belief of always taking opportunities when the
universe presents them to you, if they feel right.
Which is a message to mums and daughters as
well.
I am a founding partner of a Business Immigration
company and attended a large annual immigration
conference in Geneva with one of my business
partners. It was there that I met Allen, Raquel’s
husband, the PM of St Lucia and later in the day
met Raquel. We exchanged contact details and
they invited my family and I to visit them. I took
up the offer. So, in August 2017 my husband
and I and our two children were sharing time on
their boat travelling around the island of St Lucia
and there I also met Rhyan and Michael, Allen’s
father. Michael, I keep in contact with often and
when I told him what I was thinking he suggested
Raquel. It coincided with the big celebrations of
St Lucia's 40th year of Independence as well, so
it was meant to be. I strongly believe that nothing
in life is a coincidence.
As the commissioner of this Special Edition
magazine I want to say how much I respect all
the contributors who we have showcased in
these pages. They have faced many challenges
and hardships and have created a bond between
mother and daughter.
The theme throughout them all is very inspiring
for both the adult and child readers.
Some of my favourite quotes from the articles
are:
• Kill the bullies with kindness.
• Be nice to your mom if she cares about you, not
everyone gets a good mom.

• I love who I am and who I am becoming, and I
wouldn’t want to be anyone else even if I could
be.
• Follow your heart as people will hate you and
judge you regardless of what you do – so just do
it.
• Never be afraid to show your true colours.
• Be proud of yourself and others will too.
• Be unapologetically you.
Most of these are from the teenage girls
themselves and it makes me smile hearing these
wise words from them. Every contributor is an
inspiration to me and I love them all.
However, I also know that many teenage girls are
closed characters locking up their feelings and
emotions, thriving for perfection, a product of
today’s societal expectations.
I believe that many, not all, teenage girls have
the information and resources but lack the
confidence and experience in life, by which, I
mean true inner confidence, not external.
They have the connection with the internet
and social media, but many lack real authentic
communication.
They have what they call friends, but do they
have a tribe?
They may come across as productive but are
they accountable?
They understand expenses and how to spend
money, but do they understand investment?
That is why I am working with mothers and
teenage daughters together. Helping them to
grow and bond whilst shifting mindsets to help
support them in today’s society and lead the next
generation.
ENJOY!
