46 min - Episode 20 - Black Creativity Be Happenin w/ SōLauren
Send us Fan Mail
In this episode of the Alive, I Guess Podcast, RJ sits down with SōLauren, a Black, queer artist and creative from San Francisco — and the voice behind the Alive, I Guess Podcast intro song. SōLauren opens up about her journey through grief, identity, and artistry — and how pain doesn't block the creative process, it fuels it. Together, they explore the complicated legacy of the Black church, the inseparable bond between love and accountability, and why showing up authentically isn't just a personal practice — it's an invitation for everyone else to do the same. They also dig into what it means to advocate for artists living in their full truth, the healing power of Black artistry, and why supporting Black creators matters now more than ever. If you've ever wrestled with faith, vulnerability, or finding your voice in a world that doesn't always make space for it, this conversation was made for you.

About Alive, I Guess Podcast
From the publisher's feed
Some days you're thriving, other days you're just… alive, I guess.
Hosted by RJ GayByrd, Alive, I Guess Podcast is where women and queer folks come to stop feeling like…
they're failing at life. This isn't about highlight reels or curated wins - this is about the messy, unglamorous, hard parts of being human that we usually keep quiet.
Every week, RJ shares raw stories from their life as a queer, Black, non-binary person navigating sobriety, mental health, identity, relationships, and everything in between. Through raw storytelling and unfiltered conversations, this podcast reminds you that figuring it out as you go is still progress.
Whether you're navigating identity, relationships, mental health, money struggles, sobriety, family dynamics, or just the overwhelming weight of trying to keep it together - this is your safe space. A place where you're seen, validated, and part of a community that gets it.
Expect: Honest conversations, emotional spirals, creative chaos, plenty of humor, and the permission to be exactly where you are. I'm not your therapist and I damn sure don't have all the answers - just willing to go first in talking about the stuff we all experience but rarely say out loud.
New episodes every Thursday.
