Accountability! For years, Black women have had to wear many hats, work harder and still expect less. Overlooked for promotions, raises and still expected to show up and perform as if a promotion is on the other side. Enough is enough! #BlackWomenEqualPay

As a Walker’s Legacy Ambassador, I’m highlighting #BlackWomensEqualPayDay which is TODAY. In 2019, Black women earned approximately $0.64 cents to every non-Hispanic white man's $1 dollar. #blackwomencantwait #iamwalkerslegacy #blacklivesmatter ENOUGH is enough!

For many Black women, COVID-19 is a threefold disaster: public health crisis, the wage gap, and systemic racism makes today’s economic landscape especially harrowing. As of July’s job report-almost 1 in 7 Black women is unemployed #BlackWomensEqualPayDay

Accountability! It takes more than fuzzy BLM statements of unity to convince Black people that they matter. It starts in places of employment @Pinterest. It's time to talk to/with, not at, Black employees and give a seat at the table if progress is to be made. ✊🏿

Accountability! All universities should ask employers seeking interns these questions. If every student does not have an equal opportunity for upward mobility, they shouldn't be allowed to recruit on campus. #BlackStudentsMatter #Blackemployeesmatter
