My name is Sonya J. Bowser and I created Zolie Zi as a face for bullying after feeling like I had no voice due to being bullied on the job. The bullying happened on a daily basis and it eventually caused me to loose my job of 2 years while my bullies remained employed. The feeling that I felt of no hope and despair is a feeling that I wouldn’t want anyone to be left with after a bout with a bully.
Bullying is a serious issue and can cause a lot of emotional and mental anguish on its victims.
My mission is to use Zolie Zi as a face and voice to encourage children to use the power of their voices and to believe that there are people out there willing to help them if they would just use their voice to Speak Up and Speak Out against bullying.
Bullying can happen to anyone at any age and it does not discriminate.
