Soigne’ + Swank Magazine® exists with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Founded in 2020 by educators Dr. Trenice Brinkley and Dr. Lynnecia Eley, the publication was created to preserve stories that matter while amplifying voices with impact. At its core, Soigne’ + Swank is committed to upholding the integrity of Black excellence across industries and generations through thoughtful editorial curation.
This is not trend-driven media. It is a carefully curated platform that values depth, context, and legacy. Soigne’ + Swank Magazine® approaches storytelling with precision, choosing to archive excellence rather than chase momentary relevance. Each feature is selected with intention, ensuring that every story contributes to a larger narrative about influence, leadership, and cultural stewardship.
What sets Soigne’ + Swank Magazine® apart is its refusal to dilute excellence or rush narratives. The publication does not explain worth or justify importance. Instead, it presents stories rooted in polish and power, allowing the work and the individuals behind it to stand on their own merit. Coverage spans business, culture, lifestyle, careers, fashion, and legacy, with a focus on people and ideas that move culture and create long-term impact.
Every editorial decision reflects a belief that storytelling should serve a purpose. Whether highlighting innovators, leaders, or cultural figures, Soigne’ + Swank Magazine® centers integrity and intentionality. This approach positions the publication as both a cultural archive and a forward-thinking media platform that understands the responsibility of documenting Black excellence accurately and respectfully.
One of the magazine’s most meaningful accomplishments is its print commemorative issue released in January 2021, which honored the story of Madame Vice President Kamala Harris alongside the enduring legacy of Chadwick Boseman. The issue captured a pivotal moment in history while honoring leadership, artistry, and representation. It stands as a testament to the magazine’s ability to contextualize cultural milestones with care, depth, and reverence.
As part of FEMI Magazine’s The Magazines That Move Us series, Soigne’ + Swank Magazine® represents the power of intentional media. It reminds us that excellence does not need to be loud to be impactful, and that preserving legacy is just as important as celebrating the present.
Soigne’ + Swank Magazine® can be found at www.soigneswank.com and across social media on on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
Through its commitment to curated storytelling, the magazine continues to honor the past, document the present, and shape the future of Black excellence.
