Meet the Founders: The Creative Pulse Behind SoIndigo LLC
Every movement begins with a story.
And at the heart of SoIndigo, that story starts with two creatives, deeply rooted in the world of performing arts — and driven by a calling to inspire, uplift, and re-awaken creativity in every generation.
This is the first post in our weekly series exploring the beauty, struggle, and brilliance of the performing arts — through stories, spotlights, videos, and more. But first, we want to introduce ourselves — the humans behind the Indigo.
Who We Are: The Founders of SoIndigo LLC
SoIndigo LLC was co-founded by Zarida Teel and Aliza-Janae DeSouza, two diverse performers, creators, and visionaries. Between us, we’ve danced on stages, taught in classrooms, worked on film and television productions, both behind the camera and in front, written scripts, and cried in dressing rooms — all in service of an art form that moves the soul.
Over 15 years in modern and African dance
Trained in vocal performance and musical theater
Performed in a national tour production showcased on Broadway
Directed community creative arts showcases and developed creative workshops
Performed alongside Industry artists and entertainers
Why SoIndigo?
The name SoIndigo isn’t just a vibe — it’s a mission. Indigo is a color of intuition, freedom, and deep feeling — much like the creative energy that flows through a stage performance or a spontaneous moment of expression.
We created SoIndigo to:
Elevate underrepresented voices in dance, theatre, and expression
Provide safe space for multigenerational creativity
Inspire weekly with reflections, spotlights, and movement challenges
Offer meaningful products and services for creators
What to Expect Each Week
Every Saturday, we’ll publish a new blog exploring a different part of the performing arts — from movement and music to monologues and mental wellness.
Each post includes:
Embedded media inspiration
Creative “Try This” prompts
Artist reflections or interviews
A comment space to connect and share
This blog is our open studio — a place where creativity and conversation intertwine. Here, you’ll find behind-the-scenes insights, creative brand perspectives, artistic inspiration, and thoughtful reflections from within the SoIndigo community. Whether you’re a creative, a brand builder, or a curious soul, consider this your space to pause, explore, and be inspired.
Welcome to the collective.
Welcome to SoIndigo — where creativity lives in full color.
SoIndigo is more than a company. It’s a call to create. To express. To feel deeply again.
