Yes, because so long, like 22 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: most of my life I aspired to be a strong 23 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: black woman, really black. But I heard you know that 24 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 2: was like the epitome of black womanness, Like she's such 25 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 2: a strong black woman. And then as I became an adult, 26 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: I realized why you never hear any other race of 27 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 2: women called strong. You never heard a strong, strong Asian lady. 28 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 2: You ain't never heard that shit. 29 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: Strong and Hispanic women be on the roof with their husband, okay, 30 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: and they still don't be saying that. 31 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: She's no strong Hispanic woman, only strong Black woman, you know. 32 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: And that should be a adjective attributed to our black men, 33 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 2: not to us. And I think that's why soft girl 34 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 2: era became a thing for us, because we want to 35 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: be seen as delicate and something to be honored and 36 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: protected and cared for and treated like a flower, you know. 37 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: And that's what I want and that's what i'm you know. 38 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 2: So that's where that soft girl shit came from. 39 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: Well, you know, there's a lot of social media accounts 40 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: I follow, right, some black, some I like the lifestyle 41 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: social media.

I think she might, Well, 46 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: you send me her Alana Elena wherever her last name 47 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: is I. 48 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: Love to see her contents and breathe. 49 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: I love to see her live. And because her so luxurious, 50 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: it's so soft. Okay, what we see white.

The dog's black, low 52 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: ugly eyes, pug, and she's just like super luxurious. Right. 53 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: And then you have like the black girls now who 54 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: have their like Instagram's booming because they are now married 55 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: to white men. And now those are the women, right, 56 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: Because on one other episode we talked about divesting, I 57 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: would say, those are the women who have divested, right, 58 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: And the only problem I have with women who have 59 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: divested out the black community is why are you still 60 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: talking about it? If you don't fuck with black people? 61 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: Black men, you know, they got the whole dusty thing. 62 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: You know, they talk about how the men are dusties. 63 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: I had a baby for a dusty. Now I got 64 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: a soft life. I followed some of those accounts too, 65 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: because it's entertaining to me, you know what I'm saying. 66 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: So my the question is, is the man, the man, 67 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: the only person that could provide a black woman with 68 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: a soft life. 69 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: No, I think we've been trying to provide it to ourselves, 70 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 2: you know, Like I see a lot of people like 71 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: doing self care, you know, more self care things that 72 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: makes it maa right in a robe and uh painting 73 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: at their home, you know, things like that. So we're 74 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: being softer to ourselves. And I think that's the first step. 75 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: You know, it's treating ourselves when you know. Like another 76 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: thing that I was, like I in DP, that was 77 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 2: like they were setting us up. Ever they were setting 78 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 2: us up the whole time. Independent.

And that's another thing like, so, 715 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: these these women who have these soft flies on social media, 716 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: they're making money, right, a light off lifestyle. Is that 717 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,720 Speaker 1: the real image? Or are they actually stressed in real life? 718 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,360 Speaker 2: Well, everybody's got stressed there. I don't find find me 719 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 2: somebody who doesn't have any stress, and I'll show you 720 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 2: somebody who's probably not alive there. Ai. You know, everybody's 721 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 2: life has stress in it, you know, even the soft life. 722 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 2: It's stressful creating the content to put it on social media, 723 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 2: you know. So I don't really try to use social 724 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 2: media as a you know, a baseline for how I'm 725 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 2: live my life because everybody, everybody's showing their highlight reel anyway. 726 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, because I know some women who husbands can afford 727 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: for them to do whatever they want to do, and 728 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,280 Speaker 1: like you said, they have children that should look different, 729 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 1: even with the nanny. It's hard to work being a 730 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,839 Speaker 1: a stay at home mom to four or five kids 731 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: and shit like that, to two kids, to one kid, 732 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: it's a whole problem. So, I mean, it's not it's 733 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: not it's not soft. 734 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 2: Can life even be soft? Real? I don't know that 735 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 2: I want to meet someone who feels like they're living 736 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 2: a soft life. Do you know anybody who's really doing that. 737 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I know people like to me 738 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 1: they might be living a soft life because they don't 739 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,800 Speaker 1: have to worry about anything financially, right, But I also 740 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 1: see that the struggles that they you know, it's still stressful, 741 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: they're still stressed. They still probably can use an extra 742 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: hour sleep, you know what I'm saying. But the financial rules, 743 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: they don't have that, right, But regular all other regular shit. 744 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: But these women I'm specifically talking about the software eric 745 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: because it is a social media thing. So is it 746 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: is it real life or is it TV?

The soft life is not just stuff. 753 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 1: It's just less stress or maybe met I don't want 754 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 1: to ever manage stress, right, I just I want to 755 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: have less stress to where when something does happen, it 756 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 1: doesn't really feel like stress.
