We’re looking forward to introducing you to Alyce So. Check out our conversation below.
Alyce, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What’s more important to you—intelligence, energy, or integrity?
Integrity is most important because intelligence and energy standout, but integrity builds. It’s the one trait that holds everything else together and earns peace in your relationships, your decisions, and your reflection in the mirror.
If someone has integrity, they can learn more, and grow their energy.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi, I’m Alyce So (formerly Soigne)— a creative storyteller, lifestyle content creator, and passionate advocate for authenticity, resilience, and representation. I was born with brachial plexus injury, and I use my platform to speak openly about it—not for sympathy, but to show that strength can look different, and beauty isn’t one-size-fits-all.
What makes my brand unique is the blend of vulnerability and boldness. From relationship advice and healing conversations to nostalgic pop culture deep dives and Hollywood history, I create content that makes people feel something real. My goal is to remind others that their story matters—even the parts they once felt like hiding.
Right now, I’m working on expanding my digital presence through empowering reels, mini-documentaries, and storytelling that centers truth, growth, and identity. I also share moments from my life living with brachial plexus injury, because I believe in showing up as my whole self—flaws, faith, and fire included.
This brand isn’t just content—it’s connection, community, and creating space for people to feel seen.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
One of the earliest moments I felt powerful was when I stopped hiding the part of myself that made me different—my brachial plexus injury—and started owning it. I remember being younger and realizing that I could still speak up, still show up, and still shine, even if I didn’t look like everyone else. That shift—from shame to strength—was quiet, but powerful.
I also felt powerful the first time I shared my story publicly and someone told me, “You helped me see myself differently.” That reminded me that power isn’t always loud—it’s in your presence, your truth, and how you use what tried to break you to build someone else up.
What’s something you changed your mind about after failing hard?
After failing hard—emotionally and mentally—in a relationship whether it was romance or platonic ,that left me drained, I changed my mind about what love is supposed to look like. I used to think love meant fighting for it no matter what, holding on even when it hurt. But that failure taught me that real love doesn’t make you abandon yourself. It doesn’t confuse you, shrink you, or leave you second-guessing your worth.
I realized that walking away isn’t quitting—it’s choosing peace. And sometimes, failure is just life redirecting you back to your truth.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. Whom do you admire for their character, not their power?
I admire Keke Palmer not just for her talent or success, but for her character. She’s bold, hilarious, real, and unapologetically herself—especially in an industry that often expects women, especially Black women, to shrink or perform. What inspires me most is how she leads with personality and purpose, not just popularity.
Her confidence reminds me that I can show up fully as myself—flaws, humor, softness, and all—and still command respect. As someone born with brachial plexus, I know what it feels like to be different. Keke reminds me that your uniqueness isn’t a limitation; it’s your lane. That’s the kind of energy I try to bring into my content and my life—authentic, unfiltered, and driven by truth over image.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
“She made people feel seen.”
That I was real, even when it wasn’t easy. That I didn’t just share the pretty parts of life, but the painful ones too—and somehow made others feel less alone in their own story.
I hope they remember that I turned what made me different—like my brachial plexus injury—into something powerful. That I used my voice to lift others, not to compete. That I was soft, strong, honest, and full of heart.
Most of all, I hope they say I loved deeply, created boldly, and left behind truth that people could still feel long after I was gone.
