Pittsburgh Black Media Federation (PBMF)

What is the Soul Cafe'?

Like a cool breeze on a hot summer night, the Pittsburgh Black Media Federation's Soul Cafe just makes you feel good. For the past few years, PBMF has brought that good feeling to Pittsburgh audiences across the city.

The Soul Cafe's lineup of some of the region's most talented singers, musicians and spoken word artists makes everyone feel good. The intimate setting of the venue makes you feel good. The hot buffet makes you feel good.

More importantly, the fact that the proceeds from the Soul Cafe benefit the PBMF Scholarship Fund, makes everyone feel real good!. PBMF presents scholarships annually to college journalism students, who've participated in the organization's summer urban journalism workshop while in high school. Successful alumni from the workshop include Keith Alexander, business reporter and columnist for the "Washington Post"; Sonya Toler, city editor for "The New Pittsburgh Courier" and Sharon Epperson, a reporter for CNBC.
