Rainbow Soul: A Memoir by Anye Elite (Presale)

This is a presale. Orders will be delivered on August 31, 2026

Rainbow Soul is an ethnomusicological memoir that bridges history, identity, and resilience. Part cultural study, part personal testimony, the book traces the evolution of Black queer expression through music, while opening the door to one author’s story of survival, artistry, and purpose.

Across three interconnected parts, Rainbow Soul explores:

• The Evolution of Black Queer Expression in Music — honoring icons like Little Richard and Sylvester, whose sounds broke barriers and built community.

• Finding Strength and Community in the Face of Adversity — a personal memoir of queerness, trauma, faith, and creativity.

• Honoring Legacy and Crafting the Future — a vision for empowerment, leadership, and building soulful spaces for generations to come.

More than just a book, Rainbow Soul is a call to feel pride and regalness in our shared story, offering readers the tools to connect with something greater while charting their own path forward.
