In a world that constantly demands that Black women be strong, resilient, and unshakable—what does it really mean to be soft?
In this powerful and freeing conversation, we sit down with Dr. Chanda and Chika Uwazie, the woman behind the phrase "soft life," to unpack its intended meaning, cultural misconceptions, and why reclaiming softness isn’t about luxury, laziness, or detachment—it’s about survival, healing, and wholeness.
We explore how the "strong Black woman" narrative has shaped our identity, the toll it takes on our mental health and relationships, and why softness is not weakness—it's resistance. Whether you're a boss, a mother, a wife, or all of the above, this episode will challenge you to redefine strength, embrace ease, and finally give yourself permission to be tender in a world that’s tried to harden you.
