Guiding Principles & Equity Statement
Soulstainable Living LLC is committed to cultivating powerful spaces for inclusion and equity. We are non-discriminatory in action, language, and thought. We support people in the full richness of their adjectives.
We do not claim to speak for the so-called "voiceless" because:
- There should be no such thing, and
- We know that community voices are represented in many ways: spoken, unspoken, through sign, song, dance, storytelling, utterances, body language, and silence.
To do anything other than listen and learn new ways of knowing is to perpetuate the status quo.
We interrogate systems so that those who have been pushed to the margins are centered.
We are instruments against oppression, bigotry, and racism.
Our Non-Discrimination Policy
Soulstainable Living LLC does not discriminate based on:

Blue Flame Publications
Igniting Stories, Illuminating Truths
Blue Flame Publications was born from the spirit of entrepreneurship and resilience, inspired by the founder's grandmother's soul food restaurant—a place where community, culture, and storytelling thrived.
Just as the blue flame burns the hottest, we are dedicated to amplifying Black stories with the same intensity, passion, and purpose.
Our Mission
At Blue Flame Publications, we believe that storytelling is a form of liberation. Our mission is to honor the richness of Black narratives, past and present, by publishing works that center our voices, histories, and imaginations.
Why "Blue Flame"?
The name pays homage to the founder's grandmother's restaurant—a place where warmth, nourishment, and ambition came together. Just as the blue part of the flame burns hottest, we fuel stories that burn bright with truth, passion, and resilience.
What We Publish
Whether through poetry, fiction, memoir, or cultural commentary, we are committed to sharing the truths that shape our experiences and fuel our futures.
Featured: The Black Healing Project
More than a collection of exercises, The Black Healing Project is a testimony of overcoming, rooted in the wisdom of Black resilience. Healing is radical, necessary, and possible.
