1. Pa' Lante Pero Suave: the Dominican Art of Living Soft
In this premiere episode of Unfiltered & Unapologetic, we dive deep into what it means to live soft—Dominican style. Pa’lante, Pero Suave is not just a motto, it’s a mindset. It’s about pushing forward without burning out. It’s reclaiming tenderness in a culture that often glorifies struggle.
We unpack the layers of what it means to embrace softness without shame. Rooted in ancestral resilience, Caribbean rhythms, and Dominican pride, this episode is your permission slip to rest, feel, and flow.
In This Episode:
•Why softness is not weakness—it’s wisdom
•The cultural context of hustle in Dominican life
•How softness is resistance, especially for Dominicans and other BIPOC
•Practices to live soft: rest, ritual, and joy
Quote of the Episode:
“Softness is a spiritual strategy, not a luxury.”
