Theme: God Ain’t Gone Nowhere
May is about movement, meaning, and momentum—and Soignée delivers all three with elegance, depth, and edge. This isn’t another feel-good magazine. This is for the Black woman holding everything together and finally asking, but who’s holding me?
The May issue arrives in the middle of Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, and graduation season—not to celebrate exhaustion, but to spotlight legacy, ambition, and joy. With sharp relationship insights, elevated style and living content, and powerful features on women leading with purpose, this issue speaks directly to the woman who’s done being silent about what she needs.
The theme, God Ain’t Gone Nowhere, is a reminder: you’re not alone, and you’re not invisible. Whether you're questioning your next move or standing firm in your calling, this issue is both mirror and megaphone.
Inside, you’ll meet changemakers and truth-tellers, visionaries and rule-breakers—Black women who are shaping culture, challenging systems, and carving space for themselves and others. You’ll find the kind of affirmation that doesn’t whisper. It declares.
This isn’t lifestyle content for the masses. This is Soignée. And this month, it’s personal.
