MEET OUR FOUNDING EDITOR IN CHIEF
A DIGITAL SAFE SPACE FOR BLACK CREATIVES

“It was a heartfelt decision to commit The Soulhaus to furthering Black creatives. Within the design industry ecosystem, there has been a disproportionate underrepresentation provided to Black creatives, despite the innovation and essential contributions of the community. 

With creativity as an agent that drives culture, it was crucial to create a digital safe space to authentically create opportunity and celebrate the stories of today’s writers, artists, designers, tastemakers, and culture-shifters.”

– Jocelyn McCall, Founding Editor in Chief
