Sonya Esman was one of the earliest and youngest creators to reach global success and a loyal following of over 1.5 million for her travel, fashion and beauty youtube vlogs and instagram posts.


Sonya Esman was born in St. Petersburg, Russia and immigrated to Toronto, Canada when she was 5 years old. At the age of 10, Sonya studied commercial and TV acting, which transpired into her working as a background actor for dozens of TV shows & movies, all the while filming and editing her own videos for Youtube. At the age of 15, Sonya created “Class Is Internal”, a platform where she recorded fashion, beauty tutorials and lifestyle videos. In less than a year, Class Is Internal became recognized worldwide and Sonya began her career as a model working in London and Toronto, reaching over a million followers in 2 years. As a contributing writer for fashion magazines, Victoria's Secret Ambassador, Kid's Choice Award winner, Skype's Global Fashion Ambassador, and a full-time internationally represented model, Sonya lives every day with maximum positivity and strives to emit radiance to her audience.
