    Jordan Bone: Inspiring People To Live Life To The Full
    May 30 2025
    When Taking The Dis! first started, Sophia spoke of how social media star Jordan Bone was one of her biggest idols and how her motivational videos on YouTube and Instagram have helped her coped with different situations. So, it was a 'pinch me' moment when Sophia was able to have a chat with Jordan about her life, her struggles and the reason she wants to continue inspiring people through the work she does as a singer, writer and life coach. The pair discuss fashion, beauty and poetry as they discuss some of their biggest challenges and how they don't let disability get in the way of their goals and dreams.
