She’s the one they call on to “fix the tone” in emails. The one who’s expected to smile through microaggressions, run the DEI committee, and still hit every deadline. She’s the glue at work, at home, and in her community. But even superwomen need rest.
For many Black women, burnout isn’t just about too many hours—it’s about carrying invisible weight. The pressure to overperform just to be seen as competent. The exhaustion of code-switching in meetings. The frustration of watching others get credit for your labor. It builds silently until your body, spirit, and joy whisper, “Enough.”
At Be Still Living, we see you. We are you. This brand was born from the ashes of burnout—designed to remind Black women that rest is not a reward, it’s a right.
So take a moment today to be still. Light that candle. Wear the hoodie that says you’re not here to entertain—you're here to exist in your full power. Let every item you wear or sip from be a soft rebellion against the grind.
