CHI SOL Women

CHI SOL Women Founded in 2020, SOL Collective was formed to support and elevate women of color’s voices in the storytelling community.

They produce stories that analyze the everyday life rhythms and rituals while examining assumptions, understandings, and beliefs.

What happens when stories ripple across a room, a neighborhood, and a city?

✨The Lake Effect was more than a performance—it was a gathering of memory, truth, laughter, healing, and connection.

To everyone who joined us, thank you for adding your energy to the water. Your presence helped create something truly special.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible partners at Little Black Pearl for providing a beautiful space for our stories to come alive.

And to our phenomenal cast: Awilda González Reyes Terri A. Johnson Shelley A. Davis Dr. Ayana Clark Michelle Hughes Ruby Haughton-Pitts Karin M. Norington-Reaves

your courage, vulnerability, brilliance, and artistry transformed the stage into a shoreline where we could all see ourselves reflected. Thank you for trusting us with your stories and allowing them to move through us.

Special gratitude to PATRICIA ✦ CVIII | PATRICIA OF CHICAGO whose presence, creativity, and playlist set the vibes for the show
