Today, August 7th, is Black Women’s Equal Pay Day. This means that black women had to work all of 2017 and this far into 2018 to make as much as white men made in 2017 alone. Put another way, black women as a whole earn 38% less than white men.
Proud to pen this piece with my friend @sherylsandberg. Now is the time for ALL women to stand together and not repeat the exclusions of the past. #notonmywatch https://t.co/FsjjlEfR5l
