Soft Girl Era or Error?

We Talk Back - A podcast by The Black Effect and iHeartPodcasts - Thursdays

In this episode of We Talk Back, hosts AJ Holiday and TamBam unpack the meaning of the "soft life" for Black women, exploring how it intersects with cultural narratives, gender roles, and personal well-being. They examine the origins of the trend, the weight of the “strong Black woman” archetype, and how social media has reshaped perceptions of ease, luxury, and femininity. The conversation also dives into relationship dynamics, the economics of independence, and the importance of self-care and mental health. Throughout, the hosts emphasize that softness isn’t defined by material comfort—but by a mindset rooted in peace, boundaries, and intentional living. Let’s discuss. Tap in and join the conversation.
