Regularly Scheduled Reminder:⁠ "Queen" is NOT a feminist business model⁠ ⁠ There's a narrative in white lady entrepreneur empowerment spaces encouraging us to be a "Queen" in our businesses and lives. ⁠ ⁠ While I totally get -- and FEEL -- the need to channel queenly sovereign energy and use it to fortify yourself as we navigate a culture that invalidates women at every turn, we need to be reaaaaaalllllly cautious about using "Queen" as a business model.⁠ ⁠ What being a "Queen" usually means, in the Female Lifestyle Empowerment Brand narrative, is that a Queen delegates her overload tasks to other, lower-paid women, and voila! personal 'empowerment' for the Queen.⁠ ⁠ That's not "empowerment". ⁠ ⁠ That's exploitation and advanced capitalism.⁠ ⁠ That's one women learning how to switch positions so she can personally flourish in an unjust system rather than all of us changing the system so we all can flourish.⁠ ⁠ So, feeling queenly energy, sure; using queenly business practices, no.⁠ ⁠ Because nope, 'Queen' is NOT a feminist business model.⁠ ⁠ _________⁠ I'm Kelly Diels and I'm a #FeministBusinessCoach.⁠ ⁠ I help feminist entrepreneurs & culture-makers build thriving businesses that make money AND justice...without burning out or selling out. ⁠ #WeAreTheCultureMakers⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠#goaldigger #bossbabe #womeninbusiness #bosslady #ladyboss #womeninbiz #femaleentrepreneur #womenwhohustle #bossbabes #girlbosslife #fempreneur #bosschick #womenentrepreneurs⁠ #femalelifestyleempowermentbrand #feministmarketing #wearetheculturemakers #queenisnotafeministbusinessmodel #empowerment #feministboss #feministlife #feministbusiness #entrepreneurialfeminist #culturemakers #FLEB #feministbusinesspractices #feministbusinessmodel
