Conversations with Sol Bloom

Today we’d like to introduce you to Sol Bloom. Them and their team share their story with us below:

Sol spent her childhood in Riverside county and grew up in Riverside and San Bernardino counties with a single father. Her childhood wasn’t that great, but she made the best of it and kept an optimistic point of view even in hard times. She always believed in working hard and consistently at a young age and kept her head in books instead of hanging out and doing what other kids her age were doing. She was introduced to management at age 19 with Amazon.com. Through this and her willingness to put herself through college, where she got an education in communication, psychology, and medicine, she learned many life, business, and people skills. At 23, Sol was inclined to work in corporate for IMDb and Amazon Studios, where the writing for her brand ‘straight out of love’ and podcast ‘Love Language’ began. She currently resides in Downtown Los Angeles and has been in its metropolitan for 7 years and counting. ​

Now a poet, writer, designer, producer, model, motivational speaker, and healthcare worker, Sol Bloom, the founder of ‘Love Language,’ has created a lane for herself, creatives in the industry, and others with her plethora of connections and her podcast platform. As its host, she supports others in promoting their brands and discusses deep soul, mental and spiritual matters of the heart in a lighthearted fashion, aimed to heal, help, inspire, uplift, and motivate others.

“My podcast has been something I have been writing up on since I was in corporate IMDb. I like to think of it as a combination of experiences from my life story with reflections and sparks of light, humor, and triumph over obstacles that tie into the topics discussed. All of which aim to get people thinking about what matters in this world; love and connecting others through acts of it.”

“We are all Kings and Queens. Once we tap into our inner being and rid ourselves of the distractions society has placed upon us, we shall be set free, eyes will open to see, and wings will be given to fly to elevated heights in ourselves. I consider myself a visionary, put here on this earth in connection to my ancestors to help others open their eyes to the truth and what love is about.”

“I believe in bringing others up with me alongside my journey. There have been many dark times for me, and even in those dark times, I still gave others love and light. No matter what I was going through internally, I tried my best not to put out those fears and negative energy to others. I want to be a symbol of hope to others that anything, no matter how dark it may be in which one goes through, shall pass, and you will prevail through it with love. Always love yourself and then go on and spread light unto others out in the world who so seek it.”

“In facing darkness, I have found remarkable amounts of light. Face it, step through it, and I guarantee light awaits you. To run from the dark is like running from oneself into your destruction. There is no end, only newfound beginnings.”

We all face challenges, but would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Some struggles along the way have been me constantly battling myself or not thinking I was beautiful or good enough for certain positive situations I’d find myself in. I sometimes can’t seem to quiet my brain and need time to recharge. I’m an introvert but can be an extrovert when needed or in specific settings that it’s appropriate. Another was finding the time and energy to make things happen, along with finding balance and myself in this world. Coming from a family that did the same thing every day, where there were creative talents, but no one would display that for others to see, I had to mentally break myself out of that way of thinking in my early adulthood life. I had to become a problem solver for myself and others who picked up early on as to what I was doing and sought my help. I had to become bold and fearless. I had to grow up early and become the leader and trendsetter of my family. I wanted others to know my family’s gifts since none of them were bold enough to show others I always seemed prejudged due to my looks instead of others getting to know me for what’s internally on the inside and who I was.

Being misunderstood as someone else who participated in typical acts as common as I never wanted to be typical (having no standards, morals, ethics, etc.). I was always the difference; others had a hard time accepting that and would think I was like the “typical” human being. Being different brought admirers, haters, and those with both good and bad intentions all my life. Weaving through this while striving for my pursuits and dreams has always been a struggle.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar, what can you tell them about what you do?
As someone who has been in leadership since middle school, I always sought regular and creative work that specialized in helping others. When I was younger, my dad taught my sister and me how to be self-sufficient—being self-sufficient taught me how to care for others. I’ve always been a team player and knew how to manage. My way of seeing the bigger picture by scaling little details helped ensure things ran smoothly. I’ve always noticed details and spotted things most people wouldn’t. I was a manager for Amazon fulfillment center at the age of 19, then became a manager for Prime Now LA, then over to the corporate entertainment industry as a customer service representative for IMDB/Amazon Studios. I’ve worked behind the scenes around celebs aged 23-25. All while taking my prerequisites for Nursing. When I left corporate at age 25, I decided to dive into medicine and became a CNA, where it has been even more aligned and rewarding. I love working with my people. I enjoy saving lives, helping others mentally and spiritually, and being a positive reinforcer in others’ lives. I strived to become this for myself and others due to the lack of having what seemed to be genuine love as a child.

In my creative work, I can be all I wasn’t or felt like I couldn’t be in my childhood. Freedom and the ability to speak on the topics I want to speak on through my talks and poetry, things others may be afraid to speak on, I can now through my art. Being a model has been fulfilling for myself, my esteem, and my alter ego. I used to see myself on the screen, especially with music behind me. Growing up listening to music in the background as my sister and I would play video games were moments when my creative juices would flow. I had a lot of ideas as a child that I sat on and waited for the right time to bring to the forefront. As an adult, my being to release and express myself in my art has been healthier, whereas I used to keep a lot to myself and release my extra energy in ways that were at times reckless. Being a fire and water sign, I have a lot of energy, so once I started modeling, writing, etc., it became therapeutic and calming for me, all while touching the lives of others that can relate to my art.

Can you tell us more about what you were like growing up?
Growing up, I was a neat, clean and calm kid. I enjoyed the smaller things in life and didn’t care about the newest thing, trends, etc. I cared more about peace than anything. Being raised by my father, who disciplined me, I always wondered what it would be like to get in trouble like other kids, but I knew getting into trouble was no option when it came to my father. I didn’t want to make things harder for myself or my father so I would listen to him. I was interested in the normal; passing school, getting good grades, staying out of trouble, etc., all while thinking about what was next for me.

I was a daydreamer, always thinking about my next move; I was a thinker. I never said too much, and when I did, it was felt. I was a quiet kid who didn’t find my voice until age 21. I was very smart as a kid but would never vocalize how smart I was. I was genuine and would keep to myself, never started problems with no one but knew how to finish them. I enjoyed working out and doing anything outside when given the opportunity. I’ve spent a lot of time inside but would enjoy going outside. I felt free, only for a short period. I preferred to read a book over hanging out any day. I enjoyed spending a lot of time thinking about my future goals and the person I would become. I always had a hidden thrill to shock others; I was so quiet growing up that no one I felt could figure me out. I would think how nice it would be to show others exactly what I am about.
