CLEAR ALL
As Black women, we have to work twice as hard to be perceived as half as skilled. We have to work until August of this year to earn what a white man made by last December. We are besieged by racist and sexist bullying online.
When workers’ emotions deviate from what’s expected of their gender, they are often left to process the backlash on their own.
It can’t be about “empowerment” any longer. To make real progress, it has to be about power—using and growing the power we women already have.
