Today is AANHPI Equal Pay Day! “The average Asian American / Native Hawaiian / Pacific Islander woman is paid 80 cents for every $1.00 paid white, non-Hispanic men, losing hundreds of thousands of dollars over a 40-year career. Conversely, AANHPI women working full-time make 92 cents for every $1 paid to a white, non-Hispanic man. 

But, that's only part of the story. For certain communities, the wage gap is far greater. Vietnamese, Hmong, and Burmese women are some of the lowest paid people in the nation. 

Even within high earning fields, Asian women are paid less than their male counterparts. "Model minority" rhetoric is racist, classist, divisive, and just plain wrong. The wage gap affects ALL women. And we've ALL had enough.” cited from EqualPayToday.org

Today is September 21st, Black Women’s Equal Pay Day. This day represents how far into 2022 black women had to work to catch up to what a non-Hispanic white man made in 2021 alone. With a mission to dispose of the pay gap for Black Women, Women of Color in the Workplace features conversations with black women leaders who believe in reaching back and offering advice to others. We hope our programming sends a message that black women are making significant strides in various industries, yet their visibility, voices, and experiences are critical to global change. Tune into their stories. Visit www.blackwomensequalpay.org.
