WHO WE ARE

REALSOUL is a curriculum-based arts organization,

founded in San Francisco.

We develop creative offerings that shed light on the intersectional stories of Asian America and other BIPOC communities. We believe that learning doesn’t stop in the classrooms, but continues in workplaces, living rooms, around campfires, and beyond.

Inspired by the multi-disciplinary project, REAL SOUL: Black and Asian Unity, by Amanda Kemp, Michael T. Jamanis, Leon Sun, and Francis Wong, we strongly believe that it is only through reflection and understanding of the past that we can move forward to the present and future.

We keep it real with intention.

  • Social Responsibility
  • Open-Mindedness
  • Unity
  • Lifelong Learning

Through community-centered art, interdisciplinary lesson guides, workshops, and activities, REALSOUL’s heart is rooted in accessibility and advocacy. We aim to make space for complex dialogues and questions, with the firm belief that it is never too early or too late to start imagining the change you’d like to see in the world.

To create a strong future for our communities, our work aims to:

1) Explore and share movements of solidarity between communities to create intentional discussion

2) Develop safe spaces for intergenerational lifelong learning

3) Empower and advocate through culture, art, and activism
