Tabitha Brown, better known as “Auntie Tab,” ruffled feathers after posting a video telling struggling entrepreneurs they may need to “just get a job.”

While she meant it as tough love, many felt the comment was tone-deaf—especially for folks already fighting uphill battles.

Even after clarifying her intent, ‘some say’ the backlash shows how important empathy is when giving advice. People want support and understanding, not just hard truths. While others support Tabitha’s comments, calling it something that needs to be said, especially in the Black community.
