Created by Donnice Robinson and Tracey Middlebrooks Wynn, Soulful Journeys of Women is a live historical reenactors organization focused on notable women of color.
Founded in 2022, Soulful Journeys for Women is a way for Robinson and Wynn to combine their shared love and interest in history, education and theatre. Both women have more than 40 years of teaching and performing in local theatre and decided to combine those passions by “transforming into historical women, taking on new personas and capturing the true essence of historical icons with captivating journeys of resilience,” according to the website.
Soulful Journeys of Women aims to educate, inspire and entertain audiences by portraying the lives of strong women of color who “persevered through many obstacles on their paths to freedom and independence,” according to the website.
