Hustle Culture Almost Took Everything From Me

Hustle Culture Almost Took Everything From Me

Nobody told us that the pace we were keeping was going to cost us the way it did. We were just doing what we were taught to do. Launch something, pivot something, scale something, announce something, or risk falling behind. Two Black women sit down and get honest about what hustle culture actually took from them. The relationships that quietly fell apart. The burnout that hit the body before it hit the mind. The people who showed up for the funeral and disappeared by the time the real grieving started. This is not a conversation about slowing down and being okay with mediocrity. This is a conversation about the difference between speed and intention and why we were never taught that difference in the first place. This is Sober Opinion. Pull up. We need to talk.

A man who showed up drunk to a basketball game in front of a church member who knew her mother. A blind date who argued against leaving a tip because he only made nine dollars an hour. A ten year friendship that ended the night he came back from the bathroom with an uninvited guest named KY Jelly.She knew at the parking lot. She knew at the buffet.
