Sol’s speaking repertoire includes hosting, moderating, lecturing, and commentating.
She is a frequent speaker on issues concerning gender, race, socioeconomic inequality, generational rifts, and US public policy. As a leading voice among Gen-Z, Sol has been lauded for her ability to forecast cultural trends, resonate across generational lines, and accurately reflect the zeitgeist.
Sol regards oration as a performative tool, influenced by diasporic and gendered rhetorical methodologies such as the African American sermonic tradition, African folkloric traditions, and queer and feminist consciousness raising. She has utilized her oratory abilities as a lecturer, political organizer, and creator of various activism-oriented artist groups.
As a host and facilitator, Sol has accumulated an impressive roster of guests, some of which include dancer Misty Copeland, activists Tarana Burke and Dolores Huerta, US Congresswomen Ayanna Presley and Jasmine Crockett, actors America Ferrera and Amanda Stenberg, Kennedy Center Vice President’s Jason Moran and Marc Bamuthi Joseph, and countless other notable public figures.
