About Us

Soul of Pride unites and celebrates the LGBTQ+ community of the African Diaspora in the Bay Area and beyond.

Founded in 2000, Soul of Pride was envisioned as a space to uplift and center the Black LGBTQ+ community within San Francisco’s Pride festivities. Over the years, it has evolved into a vibrant celebration that blends art, activism, and fellowship. Our mission is clear: to create a sense of belonging, amplify voices, and honor the rich diversity of Black LGBTQ+ lives.

Soul of Pride

As part of San Francisco Pride, the Soul of Pride community stage showcases powerful performances, cultural expressions, and opportunities for connection. Attendees can enjoy soulful entertainment, engage with local organizations, and celebrate the strength and diversity of the Black LGBTQ+ community.

This incredible stage is independently produced by a dedicated Black and Brown LGBTQ+ production team and supported by passionate community volunteers.
