Soft Life Journal for Happily Selfish Black Women

I designed the Soft Life Journal for Happily Selfish Black Women to share one of the most vital lessons I’ve learned. As a self-empowered black woman, full of strength and softness, I wholeheartedly reject the label of “Strong Black Woman” along with the toxicity that comes with it.

Instead, I balance my fierce independence with deep rest and the support of those who love me. Owning my soft life means I never take on more than I can handle. I prioritize myself, treating my energy as a sacred resource. “Because I don’t feel like it” is always a valid reason to say “No” to people and things that don’t contribute to my happiness. I’ve stepped away from playing Superwoman for those who choose blame and self-victimization over taking action.

I’ve been called selfish for this perspective, and I embrace that label. Being selfish isn’t negative; in fact, selfishness is essential for good health and happiness.

The strong black woman archetype I was raised to embody often faces preventable stress-induced illnesses. I’m breaking those cycles, healing my lineage, and praying for the same for you and yours. This is why I created the Soft Life Journal for Black Women—to help my sisters feel well-rested, supported, and thriving. If you’re unsure what that looks like, I’ll proudly lead by example.

Choosing your own happiness and well-being can feel lonely and intimidating. I won’t pretend it’s easy, but trust me when I say that the freedom, healthy relationships, and high-vibing energy that come from embracing a soft life make it all worthwhile. Everything will fall into place!
