Okay beautiful babes… this one’s for the girls who are tired of being the strong one all the time. In this episode, we’re getting real about what it means to be The Soft Black Woman—and why choosing softness, rest, and care is one of the most powerful things we can do.

We’re talking about Black Hyperfemininity—what it is, why it matters, and how it gives us permission to let go of that “superwoman” role we never asked for in the first place. I’m sharing some personal moments (yes, I took care of a whole grown man just to prove something I didn’t need to—girl, please 😅), and diving into how so many of us saw our mothers do it all with no help… and thought we had to do the same.

But here’s the truth: we don’t have to fight to be seen. We don’t have to prove we’re worthy by how much we carry. We can be soft and strong. Loud and gentle. Held, loved, and taken care of.

This episode is an invitation to unlearn, to reclaim, and to redefine what being a Black woman really means—on your own terms.
