Soft Stuff
Founder
Ongoing

I am the founder of Soft Stuff, a platform using radical creativity to connect Black men and create spaces for support without stigma. Through culturally relevant programming developed with artists, institutions and brands, Soft Stuff fosters connection, joy and wellbeing through shared creative experience.

We have collaborated with the RA, Shoreditch Arts Club and Tate, and with artists including Peter Spanjer, Daniel Dzonu Clarke, Dalia James and Osei Bonsu.

In 2024, Soft Stuff was awarded the Morning People Fund from a field of over 300 applicants. The funding is supporting a season of radical creativity and connection: excursions, artist-led workshops, talks and more.
