TOGETHER, WE MAKE CHANGE.

Systemic racism has been perpetuated by denying BIPOC communities access to the resources that are necessary for sustainable success, such as education, access to resources, and community development.

 

Sole Folks is creating change through action. We showcase Black creativity and Black excellence. As a non-profit enterprise, Sole Folks is uplifting the Black community through entrepreneurship and youth development. Its creative retail space in the heart of Leimert Park offers underserved entrepreneurs a place to build and launch their brands, artists a place to showcase their collections, and the youth an innovative educational model to develop their passions and skills in the creative fields.
