Black Women’s Equal Pay Day…8 Months Too Late!

Hooray! It’s Black Women’s Equal Pay Day! This means that, as of today, on average I, and millions of Black women just like me, will have earned the same amount of money that white men earned in 2018 alone. Let me say that again for the folks in the cheap seats…as of Thursday, August 22, 2019 (after 1 year, 7 months and 22 days) the average Black woman will have FINALLY earned the exact same salary that the average white man was paid between just Jan. 1, 2018 and Dec. 31, 2018. Let’s celebrate!…except, let’s not.
