Episode 0: The Story Behind Hard Wig, Soft Life

In this first episode of Hard Wig, Soft Life, I’m getting real with you about where this journey starts and why I’m here. Growing up as a first-gen Afro-Latina in a single-parent home, I learned early that life wasn’t going to be simple. By 19, I was working full-time, helping support my family, while friends were figuring out college. Then a car accident changed everything, leaving me labeled and navigating a system that felt impossible to escape.This episode isn’t just about my story, though—it’s about what it takes to get back up after life knocks you down. I’m here to talk about surviving, finding resilience when things don’t look “perfect,” and choosing a soft life even when the world tries to keep you hard.This podcast is for anyone carrying a weight that no one else can see. If you’re ready for real conversations, tough truths, and a little bit of softness where it counts, pull up a seat.Support the show
