To make it easier for everyone to see what she wrote on Twitter/X that Wejo found "inspiring" here's the whole thing:
I just ran 13.1 miles for the Brooklyn half marathon at a 7.43 minute pace. I didn’t walk at all. I cried during a lot of it. I went to bed at 10 PM.
I didn’t sign up for this race. I just asked the security where it started and where it ended and jumped in. No one watched me cross the finish line this year.
I didn’t charge my AirPods last night. I didn’t train for this. The most I’ve run in the past 13 months was 6 miles. I had 2 glasses of wine last night.
Last March I ran the Austin half marathon, was living with the guy I thought I’d be with for the rest of my life: running another business that failed miserably at the end of 2023. I thought I had it all figured out at 25: sick apartment, dope boyfriend, savings, a business with someone, great friends.
I ran past my first apartment in Brooklyn, where I lived when I was so broke and blogging living with 5 roommates this morning. Over the past year I’ve faced the worst heartbreak in business and my personal life. Moved to a different country. Got f***** over so bad in business. Got out of debt and got back into a bit of it.
The only person I relied on to show up and cross that finish line today was myself.
When people ask me what being fearless is, it’s like asking security where the race starts and where it ends. Everything in the middle, all the bull***, the pain, the trauma you’re gonna experience in your life is nothing because you started running and you’re not going to stop just because you cross that finish line. You never have it all figured out but you rely on yourself because that’s all you have in life: you.
People will disappoint you and life will and you will make mistakes but you never stop running.
I don't get what so inspiring about this. Please someone enlighten me as to which parts exactly are inspiring - and why.
Coz to me it just seems like a bunch of banalities posted by a 25-year-old former fashion blogger turned "influencer" trying to draw attention to herself, her brand - Be Fearless - and her various corporate-sponsored businesses, which include (or have included) "Be Fearless Inc. A Reinvented Career Brand"; a short-lived show on Radio Disney called "Fearless Everyday"; Alexa Curtis Presents, which offers online courses pitched at young women such as "Your Fast Track to A Personal Brand" and "She's Here! The Personal Brand E-Course"; and in-person events called "Be Fearless Summits"- where according to the marketing materials, members of the hoi polloi willing and able to cough up $250 a head can see/listen to "Celebrities, C-Suite execs and entrepreneurs... along with tons of other ambitious professionals "
For $17.00 a month, Curtis also offers membership in "FEARLESS FOR LIFE" (caps hers), which provides "Access to the ambitious private community, one 30-minute coaching call with Alexa Curtis, discounts to Be Fearless events yearly"
