Is it time to embrace the soft girl aesthetic? Or could the trend be problematic??  The soft life was an online movement started by Black women that emerged in 2021, calling on them to stop trying to achieve it all when that’s unrealistic.  Living a soft life and being a soft girl has come to mean different things for different people, with women like @mikaelaloach defining herself as a soft Black girl - rejecting the stereotype of angry Black women.  #softgirl is now a trend on TikTok with over 3 billion views, and can mean anything from putting more time into your self-care routine, to quitting your job to focus on yourself. #softlife #softgirlaesthetic #girlbossera
