SOL regards oration as a performative tool, influenced by diasporic and gendered rhetorical methodologies such as the African American sermonic tradition, African folkloric traditions, and queer and feminist consciousness raising. She has utilized her oratory abilities as a lecturer, political organizer, and creator of various activism-oriented artist groups.
As a host and facilitator, SOL has accumulated an impressive roster of guests, some of which include actors America Ferrera and Amanda Stenberg, jazz artists Christian Scott and Jason Moran, dancer Misty Copeland, activists Tarana Burke and Dolores Huerta, US Congresswomen Ayanna Presley and Jasmine Crockett, and countless other notable public figures.
