Quotes, attributable to The Soul Pitt and Donna M. Baxter, Founder of TheSoulPitt.com
- "I like to browse your the web site if I am looking for something to do which will be ethnic. I like knowing the events and advertisers will be relevant to me and my family and friends. - L. Reese, Pgh PA"
- "The website is the epitomy of professionalism and artistic expertise. The Soul Pitt's creativity and special effects are undeniably one of the best I've ever seen. Keep up the excellent work and never, ever give this up. - C. McWilliams, Baltimore MD"
- "It's relevance to me as a Pittsburgh resident and African American. I believe the Soul Pitt works hard to stay current, relevant and well-presented. I feel fully comfortable passing the soulpitt link to someone new to Pittsburgh or advising someone interested in Pittsburgh (new or current) to sign-up for the newsletter. - W. Thomas, Pgh PA"
- "I'm fairly new to this city...I've lived here less than two years. I haven't had much opportunity to meet people outside of my work experience because I work so many hours during the week. The Soul Pitt is a wonderful vehicle to inform me of activities in the African-American community. You have no idea how much I appreciate this site! - L. Williams, Pgh PA"
