Episode 20 - Black Creativity Be Happenin w/ SōLauren
In this episode of the Alive, I Guess Podcast, RJ sits down with SōLauren, a Black, queer artist and creative from San Francisco — and the voice behind the Alive, I Guess Podcast intro song. SōLauren opens up about her journey through grief, identity, and artistry — and how pain doesn't block the creative process, it fuels it. Together, they explore the complicated legacy of the Black church, the inseparable bond between love and accountability, and why showing up authentically isn't just a personal practice — it's an invitation for everyone else to do the same. They also dig into what it means to advocate for artists living in their full truth, the healing power of Black artistry, and why supporting Black creators matters now more than ever. If you've ever wrestled with faith, vulnerability, or finding your voice in a world that doesn't always make space for it, this conversation was made for you.------------------------------------------------------------------SōLauren’s Resources:IG: @solaurenadamsTikTok: @SoLaurenMusicYouTube: @SoLaurenMusicMusic: solauren.bandcamp.com------------------------------------------------------------------Want to receive advice during “I Say This With Love”?
