Many folks were triggered by Tabitha Brown Career Advice. Where you one?

Tabitha Brown is currently the target of social media users committed to misunderstanding what most would consider sound career advice. Fans online are responding to a new video in which Tabitha Btown suggests that those who are building their prospective businesses to hold down a regular job to fund their dream gig.

On September 2, Tabitha Brown shared a message to her followers that while en route to establishing a career path of your dreams that having a job that provides a basis of stability is a wise move. Apparently, the advice from Brown had some folks feeling a bit raw despite how solid the suggestion was, with some ignoring some of the popular creative’s own testimony of working hard to get where she is today.

Granted, some critics of Brown have nitpicked her image, accent, and various wares that she sells as she continues her climb. However, she seemingly hasn’t used her fame to put others down, seeking only to motivate others with her hopeful messages. There is also Brown’s alignment with Target, which has largely been shunned by the Black community, and Brown’s ill-timed message that her supporters continue to purchase products sold by the retailer.

As it stands, any hopeful creative should heed Tabitha Brown’s advice and hear it from the perspective of someone who worked to get there, not judge her by the current level of success she enjoys.

On X, the reactions to Brown’s advice cropped up, and we’ve got a few listed below.

Why are people mad at Tabitha Brown? Based on what she said and what I experienced, I can’t help but agree.

But I also know that this job market is ASS. Like way worse than the dating pool sheesh.

The only reason I got the job I have today is because I used my resources. And…

Not they’re mad at Tabitha Brown for telling entrepreneurs to get a job in this economy. As a creative, I agree… don’t know why that struck a nerve. But pride will have you fucked up in the end.

Trying to cancel Tabitha Brown for saying folks might want stable income while chasing entrepreneurial dreams is insane. If that’s what counts as offensive now, I’d never take the internet chatter serious again. People have truly lost it.

Good morning folks. Quick question

What did Tabitha Brown do that makes some of you so unreasonably mad at her every few months? I listen to some of the things she talks about and they all make complete perfect sense to me… so what is it about you they hates her so much?
