Yesterday was #BlackWomensEqualPayDay. We must all acknowledge the compounding hurdles women face. While women’s equal pay day happens in April, highlighting the pay disparity caused by gender, women of color face gaps caused by both gender and race. Learn. Acknowledge. Support. Apologies for being a day late on this, fam.

Below is a section from a @voxdotcom article on the wage gap. I highly suggest reading it — ESPECIALLY if you’re going to be one of the ignorant fools who wants to jump in my comments to say pay gaps don’t exist. I hope that if you’re one of those willfully ignorant dodos, your moms smack you.

VOX: “Tuesday, August 7, is Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, which marks how long a black woman has to work into 2018 to catch up to the same amount a white man made in 2017.
.
The day is months later than National Equal Pay Day, which marks the same thing for women generally. This year, #EqualPayDay was on April 10, meaning that for women overall, it takes 16 mos to match what white men make in 12.
.
But these numbers change considerably for women of color. Black women, for example, needed 20mo to reach equal pay. Native American women will hit equal pay on September 27, while Latinas will hit the benchmark on November 1. And while Asian-American women technically hit the equal pay mark on February 22, suggesting that this group faces the smallest gender pay gap of all women, that date overlooks significant disparities in pay among different groups of Asian women.
.
Attention to pay disparities has highlighted how black and Hispanic men make less than their white counterparts, & how women overall make less than men. But there has been a failure to fully grapple with what the pay gap looks like when both race & gender are taken into account. For example, even as white women lag behind white men in wages, they often do better than black or Hispanic men.
.
And these numbers have particularly overlooked women of color who face both racial & gender discrimination. It suggests that if conversations & policy addressing pay disparities are going to truly benefit all women, a more intersectional & nuanced understanding of the gender pay gap is needed" #linkinbio
