SEPTEMBER 2025 VOL. 9 NO. 9
“Do you remember the 21st night of September…” Of course you do! Earth, Wind & Fire made sure none of us could ever forget. And just like that timeless jam, this month’s issue of The Soultown Magazine is bursting with rhythm, soul, and stories that will stick with you.Mrs. Monee is on a mission from heaven—fearless, fired up, and fighting to save our children. Miguel? He’s tackling the Olympic-level sport of teen eye-rolling (and somehow coaching us through it). Guest writer Sherinda Bryant drops jewels—literally—teaching young girls how to hustle their handmade jewelry like true mini-bosses. Queen Gabby gets real about the not-so-sexy truth of snoring. And Dr. Rainey reminds us that being “graced” by God means it’s our turn to extend grace to others. And that’s just the beginning… because SOUL never sleeps. Dive in, laugh a little, cry a little, and celebrate September with us in The Soultown—where the groove is always good.
