'Soft-ish Podcast
Welcome to the 'Soft-ish podcast hosted by Dee PorterWhat does Soft-ish mean? It means somewhat or relatively soft. This is a safe space specifically for black women who are on a journey.....a journey to heal, love, restore and renew themselves inside out! This podcast is an open dialogue, we intend to discuss all things that involve navigating through life while honoring and celebrating being a woman/person of color. I am embracing my "soft girl era" but that doesn't mean that "hard" will cease to exist. Let's talk about it!
