ARTIST'S DESCRIPTION
This #MRasheedCartoons image was inspired by a combination of two social media posts. The first, presented like a "do-for-selfer/striverism" advertisement, was about a Black immigrant-tied woman who it claimed built a million dollar business from exploiting "millennials" looking to start businesses. The second post was a Tweet thread from #ADOS movement co-founder Antonio Moore, who provided the data describing the desperate moves taken by cash poor Black Americans during the pandemic, who used their stimulus checks to file LLCs for the latest side-hustle struggle trend.
