Founders

Mom & Son Entrepreneurs

I’m Emma Mendez—visionary, mentor, and founder of Sovereign Studios. My journey hasn’t followed a straight line. I’ve felt the weight of being overlooked, underestimated, and boxed in. But I chose not to shrink—I chose to create. What started as a personal mission to reclaim my voice has grown into a movement that empowers others to do the same. I built Sovereign Studios (named after my son), not just as a space to vibe in, but as a sanctuary for well-being, creativity, healing, and unapologetic self-expression. Every workshop, event, and encounter here is rooted in real experience—my own and the stories of those who walk through our doors. I know what it’s like to feel silenced, but I also know the power of being heard. That’s why everything I create is designed to amplify voices, unlock purpose, and spark transformation. This isn’t just business. This is legacy work.
