but DEI right?????!!!!! - tuh!

Carl Erik Rinsch had already burned through more than $44 million of Netflix’s money when the streaming giant wired him an additional $11 million in March 2020 to finish a sci-fi series called “White Horse.” But according to the federal indictment, the show was never completed. And not a single episode aired.

Instead, federal prosecutors say Rinsch diverted nearly all those funds into personal brokerage accounts, lost half of it on speculative stock trades, made it back through cryptocurrency, and then went on a massive shopping spree that included five Rolls-Royces, one Ferrari, and two handcrafted Swedish mattresses that together cost $638,000.

Burnout has become a near universal experience for Black women in workplaces that demand everything from us but offer little protection in return.

According to a 2025 analysis from the National Women’s Law Center, more than 300,000 Black women were pushed out of the labor force this year, a staggering reminder of how fragile our place in the workforce can be. I didn’t plan for burnout. Most of us don’t. We keep pushing until the pushing pushes

My job was to keep organizations accountable and ensure their decisions aligned with both regulation and humanity. On paper, I was thriving. In reality, the exhaustion ran deeper than any PTO request could fix.

I had built my identity around achievement. As a meticulous Virgo, I genuinely believed that if I stayed prepared and worked hard enough, I could outrun burnout. But that belief held me hostage. I thought constant high performance would finally make me feel secure. Instead, I felt trapped inside my own idea of success.

My truth now is simple: thriving is not about perfection; it is about choosing purpose, boundaries, and wholeness over performance.
