THE HOME OF SO I SAID POD & SIXTH CITY MAGAZINE.
Our Mission:
A Cleveland-based, media production company that generates life-affirming digital, print, and visual content for dynamic audiences.
Our Values
Life Affirming:
So I Said Media produces art that is life affirming. Where there is evidence of life, even in its most microscopic form, there is hope for growth. We believe that artists, in all mediums, serve as proof that society still has signs of life.
Black Cleveland:
All of our art is rooted in the experience of Black Cleveland. We define Black Cleveland as a place, culture, and attitude.
Revelation:
Revelation is the act of un-earthing something that may have been hidden, but existed all along.
Though their stories have been neglected, Black Cleveland has always been both life affirming and resilient - Through Revelation, we bring those stories to light.
