Triumph is personified as Sunja was the first in her family to earn a 4 year degree (Magna Cum Laude), she has two beautiful children, and she exudes love from her Creator, love for herself and love for others. "I chose to write this book because I wanted to inspire others not only to share their story, but to know that you can overcome any obstacle life throws at you."

She was also a high school Spanish teacher for 5 years. She has two children; McKenzie and Gabriel. She presently resides in Atlanta, GA.
