Happy (un)equal Pay Day! I'm sharing this guide of 50 pages of information on how to negotiate, especially as women of color.

💸 Black women are paid 66 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. Latina women are paid 52 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men.

Equal Pay Day is the symbolic day dedicated to raising awareness of the gender pay gap. In the United States, this date symbolizes how far into the year the average median woman must work in order to have earned what the average median man had earned the entire previous year. The exact day differs year by year.

Negotiation is not greed.

🤩 You can be grateful for the opportunity to work with them and still negotiate.

And they can be grateful for the opportunity to benefit from your value by paying you well.

Just because an offer is more money than you or your family have ever seen doesn’t mean you accept the first offer.

🚶‍♀️‍➡️ Where you came from is not where you’re going.

Your family or life history doesn’t dilute the power of the skills you bring to the table.

Negotiate up.

🤲 ASK. because if you rely on other people to give you what you hope they’ll notice you deserve, you will continue to be underpaid.

I’m not a lawyer, HR, or a financial advisor so consult the people in your life appropriately. I’m just a woman who wants other women to have the bag chase them.

🤑 I want everyone to have the most valuable and contextually relevant information possible.
