130: Why Accomplished Black Women Are The Most Likely To Underpay Themselves Right Now (And What To Do About It)

Over 600,000 Black women have been displaced from their jobs in the last 18 months and that single statistic explains a lot about what’s happening inside workplaces right now: people are scared, and fear is making them quiet. When job security feels fragile, it’s easy to start treating a paycheck as something you should be grateful for, even when it’s already too small. That silence doesn’t just slow down your career; it keeps you underpaid and makes it harder to move into leadership with the power and choice you deserve. 

We unpack what I call the “just be grateful” trap, why it hits Black women so hard at the intersection of racial bias and gender bias, and what you can do about it.
