2026 Issues of The Soultown Magazine
Chillin and Joe Madison
Guided by its slogan, “Think: If It’s Not in Ink, It Can Be Erased,” Soultown underscores the importance of documenting history and culture through storytelling. The message reflects ongoing conversations about the erasure of Black history from traditional history books and reminds readers of the enduring power of preserving stories in written form. It also honors the long-standing cultural tradition of storytelling that dates back to the African griots, who passed down the history, values, and achievements of their communities from generation to generation.

The Soultown publication is powered by nearly three dozen writers from across the globe, including contributors from countries such as Spain and South Africa. Soultown also features International Correspondents who share stories from their own villages, neighborhoods, communities, and towns—places rich with culture, resilience, and what Soultown calls the “soul” of a community. These voices help readers experience how the spirit of community connects people across cities, regions, and continents.
