Queens of Social Work

Soft Life: Is it an actual Goal or just a Social Media trend?

Queen P & Queen H Season 6 Episode 6

The term “soft life” is everywhere, but what does it really mean?  In this episode, we unpack the concept of the “soft life” and explore whether it’s a meaningful goal or just another fleeting social media trend.  We discuss how the idea varies across individuals and why it’s important for each of us to define what the soft life means in our own lives.

Joining us is Mikelah Rose, also known as Queen M—a proud Jamaican-American blending corporate expertise with entrepreneurial creativity.  As the founder of Style & Vibes, a digital media platform celebrating Caribbean style, music and culture, Mikelah bridges cultural borders and connects the global Caribbean diaspora through storytelling.  With experience in major Caribbean-American media outlets, she’s built a niche following and a trusted voice within the Caribbean community.

Discover how Mikelah’s journey can inspire social workers and others to create their own definition of balance, fulfillment and the “soft life.”

Social workers of color face immense challenges—systemic racism, underfunding, and overwhelming caseloads. They work tirelessly to support others but often lack the support they need. That’s why we created the Queens of Social Work Podcast—a lifeline and safe space for social workers of color to vent, share, laugh, and find the resources they need to thrive.
