"I’m excited for Soko’s launch because our community will finally have a space that completely represents us, is for us, and by us. No more being the token in a space where we’re the minority. I’m so excited to have joined Soko!"

"Soko is going to change the world! I've been craving for a space for Black professionals and creatives like myself to vibe out. Super dope company, great deal behind the machine, excited for the launch!"

"I'm excited to be apart of a platform where I don't stand out. It means a lot that this platform is being built. I need this and so does our community."

"The world needs more diverse and inclusive platforms, not less. Any place that provides an opportunity for someone other than the represented majority to bring their full selves to is a place I'm excited about. Soko does that."

"I am excited because Soko offers an opportunity to change the Black community as a whole by tackling some made up pipeline issues. The talent pool is there but the ownership is not. Soko has the ability to change that from the inside out."

"Honestly, the mission behind the platform is exactly why I am excited for Soko. To be able to network more efficiently with black people is major. There are so many successful and brilliant people who look like me, that I really don’t have a way of accessing and this will be a resource to be able to do just that. I’m excited that someone thought of the idea and is executing it!"
