soft life, real work with priscilla o. agyeman of saddie baddies

We're talking to Priscilla Agyeman, the visionary behind Saddie Baddies®, a platform dedicated to reshaping mental health discourse for young Black, Latinx, Asian, Indigenous, and multiracial communities. As a creative entrepreneur, thought leader, and mental health activist, Priscilla founded Saddie Baddies® in 2019 to address the gaps in digital conversations about mental health. Since then, the community has gone on to develop important mental health resources, The Soft Life podcast, many online and IRL events, and more! 

In this episode, we explore the realities of balancing full-time jobs with entrepreneurship, the importance of mental health, and what self-care looks like for community leaders. We’ll also dive into the impact of Saddie Baddies® and its partnerships with some of our favorite brands.
