About Us

We are Sọ Fun Publishing. 

Our name may make it seem like the work we do is simply about having a good time. Although we do relish in our love of literature, the meaning of our name runs much deeper than that. 

Western African is the ancestral home of many Black Americans and others of the African diaspora. And for us, it is fitting that we honor our motherland with our name. 

In Yoruba, which is a language common to Western Africa, the phrase "Sọ Fun" (pronounced saw foon) can be translated to "tell it",  as in "tell it like it is", "tell it like it should be", or "tell your story". 

​
We know the power of crafting our own narratives. We know the beauty of spreading our own messages. We believe that telling our own stories from our own perspectives and in our own voices is paramount to our culture. 

Our mission and passion is to help you tell your unique story, and help it become woven into the fabric of that culture.
​
The important thing to know About Us is that we are all About You.
