OUR MISSION

To elevate Black voices and bring people together through art and storytelling.

OUR Vision

To become the global home for Black live storytelling and shared cultural experience.

Who we are

Soul Soirée is a live event and cultural entertainment brand built to elevate Black voices and bring community together through art and storytelling. Founded in New York City in 2021 by Chi Mancho, Mister Fitzgerald, and Shomari Love, Soul Soirée began as a creative collective and quickly grew into one of the most exciting live performance brands in NYC.

Our signature event, The Monologue Slam, is the largest recurring creative event for the BIPOC arts community — a high-energy theatrical showcase featuring original and published works from poetry, stage, and film, performed by both rising stars and established talent before a packed live audience. Since our founding we have produced sold-out shows across New York City and Los Angeles, drawn over 2,000 attendees annually, and attracted partnerships with BET, Ralph Lauren, Audible, and D'USSÉ. Our work has been featured in Good Morning America, Deadline, and Blex Media. Soul Soirée is where culture happens in real time.
