In September 2020, at the height of a global pandemic and racial uprisings, Interrupting Everything host, Nikki Blak made the decision to walk away from her corporate 9-5 job.
On paper, it was the “responsible” path — salary, benefits, unlimited PTO — but safety under capitalism is a scam.
What she wanted was something no company could offer: full access to her own time, labor, and freedom.
This episode shares the story behind that pivotal moment: what it took to leave, why 2020 made the choice even more urgent, and how reclaiming her labor opened the door to joy, creativity, and collective liberation.
This story isn’t just about one person quitting a job. It’s about the courage to question what we’re told is safe, the audacity to imagine more for ourselves, and the reminder that liberation is possible even in chaotic times.
Tune in to hear what it looks like to choose self-determination over exploitation and why reclaiming our labor is a collective act of resistance.
