The History of SoulKiss

Since 2007, Hip Hop artist Miki Vale has curated spaces for queer Black womxn in San Diego, with collaboration from producing partner DJ Niomiesoulfly, videographer Eb of Course, and many more powerful artists. These events, which took place over the course of more than 8 years, were known across Southern California as SOULKISS, a magical event series unlike anything else for Black womxn who love womxn in the region. 

Since entering the world of theatre, and becoming a commissioned playwright, sound designer, Teaching Artist and more for The Old Globe, Miki Vale is now an integral contributor to the San Diego theatre community. Through writing plays, she further developed her voice, and felt a newfound freedom of expression through the art form.  

To create more pathways to platforms for Black womxn’s voices and stories, and to cultivate more spaces for community, celebration, and healing, Miki Vale founded SoulKiss Theater in July 2020.

SoulKiss Theater offers arts education aimed at empowering queer Black womxn to channel their collective voice and share their experiences through meaningful storytelling, as well as career development in arts and culture.

Our Mission

SoulKiss Theater offers arts education and community to develop original work and nurture a space of hope, wisdom, and bravery.
