You are invited to join the Pay Equity conversation hosted by @ncbwinc.greater on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at 6:00PM EST. Featured guest experts will be Councilwoman @stephaniehowse and LaToya Smith, VP of Talent Acquisition Manager of Fifth Third Bank.
🌟 Advocating for Pay Equity for Black Women 🌟
Did you know that Black women earn just 69 cents for every dollar earned by non-Hispanic white men? This wage gap widens to 66 cents when considering part-time and part-year workers. These disparities are not just numbers—they represent systemic barriers that hinder economic security and perpetuate inequality.
💼 Why It Matters Pay equity is about more than just fair wages. It’s about ensuring that Black women have the resources to support their families, invest in their futures, and thrive in their careers. Gender justice must go hand-in-hand with racial justice to achieve true economic equity.
📢 How You Can Help
Raise Awareness: Share this post and join the conversation using #BlackWomensEqualPayDay.
Support Legislation: Advocate for reforms like the Paycheck Fairness Act to combat pay discrimination.
Donate: Contribute to organizations fighting for equal pay and workplace equity.
Together, we can close the wage gap and create a future where every Black woman is paid what she deserves. 💪🏾✨

January is here, and so is our opportunity to make Mentoring a Monumental Movement! The National Coalition of 100 Black Women is answering the call to rise in purpose and passion as we invest in the limitless potential of young women and girls throughout our country.

Together, we have the power to uncover greatness, inspire dreams, and light the path forward for those who will carry the torch of progress. Whether you meet weekly or monthly, in large groups or small, you make a difference! Whether it’s sharing wisdom, lending a listening ear, creating opportunities for exposure, or simply being a guiding presence, mentorship creates ripples of change with infinite possibilities. Every connection we make plants seeds of resilience, courage, and vision that will grow for generations.
