This world ain’t the same for everyone.
On Labor Day and a call for help
Happy Labor Day to the ones that build this economy without recognition. The ones that feel the constant pressure to prove their humanity to a society that overlooks sacrifices and enjoys the fruits of hard labor.
This world ain’t the same for everyone. Some of us have to work three times harder to prove we are worthy of any opportunity.
On this Labor Day, we are grateful for the labor of those that are often forgotten about. Grateful for the labor that is the backbone of this economy.
