Dear Peller: My Child Won’t Kneel for Your Staged Empowerment
Dear You,
Well…
I won’t raise a kid that will go to school, get a master’s degree, then stand in line to attend a job interview for Peller (just to become Peller’s cameraman).
No one born of me.No one mentored by me.
Will be among that queue.Not for a show.Not for ego.Not for clout.
I won’t mix words on this.
What Peller did may have been packaged as “empowerment.” But no it was performance.A stunt.A public power play, and a dangerous one at that.
Because when a man invites educated youths to stand before him like servants, just so he can prove a point…
That’s not leadership.
That’s not inspiration.
That’s ego playing dress-up.
That kind of scene reinforces the worst part of our culture. The idea that your dreams, your intellect, your degrees, must still kneel before a big man’s theatrics.
Why should a man with a master’s degree beg to carry camera for someone who only wants to show that he can make men bend?
We’ve seen this script before.
The same script Diddy used.Create a cult of loyalty.Use people’s hunger against them.Promise them fame.Give them scraps.
Then years later, they come out, bruised and ashamed, finally speaking the truth.
We need to stop repeating this cycle. Stop glorifying performative philanthropy. Stop celebrating men who stage generosity while feeding their own image.
That person in that line could’ve built something powerful. But in the name of “Peller,” he became another pawn in a game of influence.
My child will not play that game.
If we want to raise kings and queens, let’s start by teaching them that not all opportunities are golden. That sometimes, saying “no” is how you preserve your crown.
Because clout is not legacy.Performance is not power.And submission is not success.
Your Nonsense Spotter

PS: Let’s not mix words. You must not work for stupiiiiid people. Yes. Say NO. After all, even at that he would still say NO to others but 2.
