15: Learn About The Gender Pay Gap

03/01/23 • 47 min

The gender pay gap is a calculation that reflects the fact that, on average, women are paid less than men. In 2020, that was 83 cents to every dollar. Women of Color, per usual, get an even smaller piece of the pie. Black women were paid 64%, and Hispanic women (of any race) were paid 57% of what white non-Hispanic men were paid (according to a study conducted by the Women’s Bureau in tandem with the U.S. Census Bureau).

What’s worse is that the majority of the gap between men and women’s wages cannot be explained through measurable differences!

But why does the wage gap even exist? Tune in to learn more about this infuriating, global issue and what you can do about it.

14: Learn About Black Wall Street

“Imagine a community of great possibilities and prosperity built by Black people for Black people. Places to work. Places to live. Places to learn and shop and play. Places to worship.

Now imagine it being ravaged by flames.
Greenwood was so promising, so vibrant that it became home to what was known as America’s Black Wall Street. But what took years to build was erased in less than 24 hours by racial violence.” - NY Times
Tune in as Jessica and Brandon discuss the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, which erased years of Black success and the impact it has had on Black America today.
