About The Soapbox Presents

THE SOAPBOX PRESENTS is a platform, literally and figuratively, for Black and brown expression. Founded by Marija Abney, in response to the M**der of George Floyd, The Soapbox Presents creates a space for us to commune, resist, be rejuvenated and revived in celebration of the brilliance of Black and brown people through the performing arts.

Since 2020, the organization has provided free arts programming to community featuring some of NYC’s most talented artists. From Mahogany L Browne (Lincoln Center’s first poet-in-residence) to Sean Mason (arranger, composer, pianist, and featured guest of the Wynton Marsalis Quintet), The Soapbox Presents gives Black and brown artists the opportunity to give back to their communities and each and every artist featured on the platform is paid.
