Happy Thursday bro

I am not a fan of labels either.

The thing about labels is that they do the work of understanding without actually doing any of it. Someone hears COO and fills in the rest. Someone hears Caribbean and fills in the rest. Someone hears woman in tech and fills in the rest. None of those fills are me and all of them have been confidently applied by people who had just met me. I stopped fighting it and started treating it as a screening tool. The people who get past the label on their own are always the ones worth talking to. The rest were never going to see past it anyway.

Have a wonderful day ahead.
