Latina Equal Pay Day 2021 w/Rita-Soledad

Reclaiming Joy in Motherhood

Yesterday was Latina Equal Pay Day. Latinas will have to work all the way to October, 21, 2021 just to make as much as their white, non-Hispanic male counterparts made in 2020. Latinas make 57 cents on the dollar and it's not just about the money, it’s also about the opportunities we’re denied and the support systems needed to get us back into the workforce. We work until nearly 90 years old just to make the same amount that a white man earns by age 60. At this point it’s not a personal issue, but a national problem. Latinas have struggled to pay for basic necessities like rent and childcare over the last year and more than half of Latinas have less than $300 to fall back on.
In this episode Valery dives deep into conversation with Soledad from @wealthparatodos on how the Latina Equal Pay gap affects us every single day and how the gap grows more and more every second with no remediation in sight.
