Angelica Govaert argues that being born in America creates an obligation to maximize your potential and use success to help others. She frames this not as a right to judge anyone else, but as a duty that comes from unearned privilege.
First of all, there's nothing I can do about that. There's nothing I can do about that. But second of all, because I was born where I was born, I have an obligation to do the most that I can with that, to be the best version of myself, to do what I can to help other people in the capacity that I know how to, to do everything to the best of my ability, to be as successful as I possibly can. I have an absolute duty to that because it is a privilege to have been placed in this space that I did not choose to be an American and have the opportunity to build this business and to help other people. And I believe that is what I'm supposed to do. I don't think it's my right to judge anybody else. And that's just how I feel. Mic drop. Yeah, honestly.
