I work for a company that enforces workers compensation and I hear a lot of employers say” no one wants to work anymore “ and I really wanna say “ just say you want to pay them a Slave wage and move on”. To be honest I have a lot days where I don’t know if I can live like this for the rest of my existence.
The song sounds like it’s from another time, which should serve as a reminder that not much has changed since the plantation. It’s beautiful. It’s sad. It’s enraging. True art.
Ever since I graduated college and entered my first corporate job, I have felt everything you mentioned. Back then people thought I was spoiled or crazy for feeling ‘bad’ at work. This way of working isn’t natural. Thank you for your validation, videos and music.
I just took an African drumming class a week ago. I just happened to walk by the place, heard the drums and my spirit was uplifted. Now it makes sense. ❤
Yes so true I’m tired of working I’m tired of being a slave father help us all ! It’s a shame God told us this world won’t get any better home is with God that’s is true peace I pray he gives us peace being here on earth!
Yeeeeeeeeeees! Yaaaaaaaaaaaay, DMV!!! 🫂🥹💛🌻 And yes! It is SO miserable. These jobs don't csre anything about us and it shows. We gotta center and csre for ourselves. 🥹💐🫂
@@AleciaRenece Very true. I really wish there were more that we could do to win. I just don't understand how the consistent abuse and manipulation can continue.
Hey Alecia. Girl, this hits sooooooo true. I am literally taking a wealth and poverty class and just scratched the surface on the International Monetary Fund and World Bank and how this institution legit exploit and leverage labor and capital. Its is maddening. I am still looking to homestead and create a communal space to live and not be exploited by capitalism. I feel that every thing now is a distraction from the realities that exist and people are no longer blinded by the BS because we have literally been squeezed and people are pushing back on the status quo and demanding more, and 2020 proved that very clearly.
OMG. 😲 Your brilliance never ceases to amaze me!!!! Wow. Thank you so much for creating this and sharing this background 🤎🤎🤎 THROW THESE SYSTEMS AWAY 🚮 👏🏽
The PATRIARCHY knows/knew EXACTLY what he did/do.... its NOT by accident... he did this INTENTIONALLY!!! ... the PATRIARCHY is rejoicing at the making of this video, your struggles, etc. HE WON!!!🏆 Not trying to be funny, but women need to look at themselves since thats where HE CAME FROM!! I love & enjoy your channel... keep up the great great work .... choose to grow in USEFUL KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS to sustain your female life FIRST ABOVE ALL!!! .... NEVER be gullible, naive, or blind. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this. Pursuing one’s dreams is a process with a few significant stages or many small stages. We learn to fit into wage slavery bc schools, parents, etc. condition us from the time we are really young pre school to graduation. I’ve found dreams get relegated to daydreams. To use your call and response example, we need to call back our dreams for them to respond to us. Grow into that person who the dream came to be. That’s my 2 cents. Your energy and perspective are appreciated.
This was right on time. I never heard of the term “wage slave” until this video. That makes so much sense, it gives me chills. But, as you said, we have to get creative. We must. Our freedom depends on it. Your voice is resistance, Sis. I hear it all: the banned sounds, the ancestral cry, the haunting elevation. Sending you much light and ❤️.
At my job they take an automatic 3% out of your check and into a 401 k retirement plan. You don't have a choice. You can increase the percentage after a certain time period or something like that.
Would love to choreograph a piece to your song whenever I get the energy and resources to dance. Speaks volumes to our current situation. Please continue using your voice to speak truth to power ✊🏾
I really appreciate you sharing the meaning behind the music you make. It’s a lot of effort to explain the why behind a creative process and I just want to say it really makes a difference and it’s very appreciated. Beautiful song. Yes absolutely a new world is possible.
I love that you said being HOUSED is made a privilege (AGAIN, the patriarchy) Please get OUT of the CITIES/RENTER/MORTGAGE world , PERIOD!.... learn skills in nature, setting traps, fishing, bushcrafting skills, take care of your health & wellness COMPLETELY Independent from his system... You may think that what im saying is a joke, but TRUST & BELIEVE its not a joke. I hope to see you on the other side as a Woman FIRST
I believe what's not talked about enough is layoffs or getting fired. More about the former, but when 40-60% of workers get laid off these days, and say it's after 4 months of work on 12-15$/hr, they're looking at walking away with 7k$ to 9.6k$. Even if paid 50$/hr, this is STILL not enough for a house (around 400k on average). And guess what? This is under working 9-5, so this standard is incredibly outdated and does not work when costs are this unrealistic

Alecia, the song has a very nice melody. Your voice is amazing!
I stumbled upon one of your videos today and have been binge watching. All I've heard so far is the raw truth.
Ever since I graduated college and entered my first corporate job, I have felt everything you mentioned. Back then people thought I was spoiled or crazy for feeling ‘bad’ at work. This way of working isn’t natural. Thank you for your validation, videos and music.
This has been so Amazing to listen to before i start my work day!

Shout out to DMV. I'm in that area too. But yes, I feel like a horrible wage slave and it is very miserable. I hate being "owned" by these jobs.

Thank you for creating a safe space to be tired and frustrated. I appreciate you! ❤️

And before retiring they take all the 401ks wow what a scam
Is that legal? Is there a law requiring people participate in a 401K now? If you want to opt out, ask HR.
Would love to choreograph a piece to your song whenever I get the energy and resources to dance. Speaks volumes to our current situation. Please continue using your voice to speak truth to power ✊🏾
I love the explanation of the song, makes me appreciate it so much more!
Beautiful song. I like what you said too you shouldn't have to go back to school, I have gotten that so much.
I really appreciate you sharing the meaning behind the music you make. It’s a lot of effort to explain the why behind a creative process and I just want to say it really makes a difference and it’s very appreciated. Beautiful song.
Yes absolutely a new world is possible.
Beautiful song and I appreciate your self awareness. Thank you sharing!
Truly you make me wanna get on my soapbox and say the same thing I’ve been saying for years thank you for making videos man you’re amazing
I love that you said being HOUSED is made a privilege (AGAIN, the patriarchy)
Please get OUT of the CITIES/RENTER/MORTGAGE world , PERIOD!.... learn skills in nature, setting traps, fishing, bushcrafting skills, take care of your health & wellness COMPLETELY Independent from his system...
