From Hostage To Hero Ep. 231 - Hard Work Won't Get You Where You Want to Go
“Putting a lot of energy into an activity.”
☝️That’s the actual meaning of hard work.
And I LOVE it.
According to that definition, I work very hard because I put a fuck ton of energy into what I do.
But y'all tend to be more familiar with a few other definitions of hard work, like… “difficult to bear” and “causing suffering.”
Hard work is NOT the only determinant of success, especially if you’re a woman or a person of color in the United States.
Tune in to this very sweary episode of the FHTH podcast to learn more about my thoughts on the subject.
Enjoy!

"When we're touting that hard work is all it takes to get ahead in life, in your career, or in trial, it's fucking bullshit. For at least half of the United States being women and then add in all the people of color on top of that, it just doesn't fucking work that way. And because you all keep believing that it does, it's not doing you or your sisters or people of color any favors."
