Get Somebody Else to do it!!

Defiance Against Exploitation in Work and Life

As Black women continue to reclaim their time and energy, they are rewriting what strength looks like. It’s no longer about enduring or suffering in silence but about thriving, setting boundaries, and demanding what they deserve. "Get Somebody Else to Do It" isn’t just a meme or a trend—it’s a movement. It’s a reminder that saying no to others is saying yes to yourself. And in that yes, there’s power, healing, and freedom.

It’s important to clarify that "Get Somebody Else to Do It" isn’t about neglecting responsibilities or abandoning loved ones. Instead, it’s about discernment and balance. Black women are recognizing the difference between being selfless and being exploited. They are learning that choosing themselves isn’t selfish—it’s survival.

On a deeper level, this phrase embodies healing from generational trauma. Many Black women have watched their mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers put themselves last, sacrificing their dreams and well-being for the sake of family or societal acceptance. Today’s generation is breaking that cycle by embracing rest and saying no to anything that doesn’t serve them.
