In this episode of The Soft Life Error, I unpack why I believe the Black Lives Matter movement was morally justified but strategically flawed—and how poor execution can create unintended consequences. From decentralized leadership and shifting narratives to allyship, backlash, and the rise and fall of DEI, I explore how a movement meant to protect Black lives lost control of its message. This isn’t a denial of racism or injustice—it’s a critique of strategy, outcomes, and accountability. If we’re serious about progress, we have to be honest about what worked, what didn’t, and who ultimately paid the price.
