Now Introducing: Sophie Edwards!
Meet Sophie!
Sophie (S.B.) Edwards is a Canadian writer, historian, and voice feminization coach.
She’s the host of We Have Always Existed, a video essay series that explores the rich history of transgender people in the ancient Mediterranean. For those unfamiliar with transgender ancient history, Sophie’s work will be an excellent introduction to the 10,000+ years of recorded history that includes trans folks.
Having worked to feminize her own voice, Sophie is also a professional voice feminization coach. Clients describe her sessions as digestible, thorough, fun, and easy to follow even if you don’t understand the mechanics of voice. Sophie brings to her practice a sense of care, compassion, and a deep, personal understanding of the frustration and hurt that can come from gender dysphoria.
Sophie lives in Toronto with her partner and their four cats.
Lavender Menace Talent is proud to showcase our newest client: Sophie Edwards!
We’re delighted to welcome Sophie Edwards to Lavender Menace Talent Management. Sophie is a Toronto-based trans woman, writer, historian, and voice coach. She hosts "We Have Always Existed," a video essay series that illuminates transgender history in the ancient Mediterranean and Near East. A masterful storyteller, Sophie is helping to dispel the myth that being trans is a recent trend or a symptom of being “woke" by reminding viewers that trans people have existed throughout history. Not only have we always existed, but we have even thrived in cultures across the globe. Sophie is also an accomplished writer, with many nonfiction credits to her name, as well as her debut novel, “The Bottom Line,” a solarpunk tale set in a near-future Toronto, released in December 2024.
Sophie’s writing expertise is manifested across many ghostwritten articles across a wide array of disciplines and diverse industries, and she brings both academic rigor and heartfelt advocacy to all of her work. She runs a YouTube channel, We Have Always Existed, which focuses on trans people in history, reaching tens of thousands of viewers regularly. Sophie also professionally coaches trans women in voice feminization, drawing on her own experience of transition to create a practice that is both compassionate and intuitive.
Her growing influence, celebrated through literary, scholarly, and 2SLGBTQIA+ historical programming, makes Sophie an inspiring voice for narrative storytelling, putting ourselves in historical context, and social impact within and beyond the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Her message is more important now than ever: trans people have always existed, have historically enjoyed a valued and respected place in society, and deserve the same human rights everyone else enjoys. We have always existed, and will continue to exist for as long as humanity remains on Earth. Additionally, her commitment to supporting trans women in meeting their gender-affirming voice feminization goals is unwavering, and her impact on the students who learn from her cannot be overstated. Lavender Menace Talent Management is proud to support Sophie as she continues to educate, inspire, and uplift.
Sophie is open to taking on new vocal coaching clients, collaborating with other LGBTQ+ creators, and sponsored content with values-aligned brands.
If you’re interested in working with Sophie in any capacity, please contact Rowan at Lavender Menace Talent to discuss availability and opportunities.
What’s next for Sophie? She’s hoping to grow her audience of trans historians to reach more people who need to see themselves reflected in times gone by. She hopes to spread awareness of the deep and storied history that trans people have in cultures across the globe, in stark contrast to the harsh criticism and social upheaval related to trans rights in the Western Hemisphere right now. She is actively seeking collaborations with other 2SLGBTQIA+ creators, especially in the trans history and social/cultural awareness space. Sophie is also seeking voice feminization clients who are interested in expanding their range and approaching their voice goals in a practical, well-rounded way that’s grounded in personal experience.
