Seven years ago, when we founded Souls in Focus with the mission of inspiring, educating and connecting creatives through different avenues we actually didn’t fully fathom the massive impact that this would have on our community.

We’ve had countless meetups and events, community-driven partnerships, and unforgettable stories shared, but nothing will compare to the love and connection grown with each and every one of you.

Our passionate founders and leadership team have spent years growing as humans, creatives, and friends which is a blessing that we cherish dearly. However, as time has flowed and life has changed for us all, the structure of our team has as well…

With that, we are excited and thrilled to announce that our Co-Founder, Sade Fasanya will be taking full ownership and leadership of Souls in Focus moving forward. Sade has shown immense love, dedication, and integrity for Souls and will continue to fulfill our original mission with this new era of our collective and she has our full gratitude and support. Co-Founders Natiah Jones and Henry Danner will remain strategic advisors and investors in Souls while our fearless team Naeem, Lauren, and Kedrick will become creative consultants.

This is a beautiful moment of growth for Souls in Focus and we cannot wait to have you all continue on this journey with us. Stay tuned for events coming around in the Spring 🖤

With Love,
From Souls
