The First Gen Coach: Career Development for Latinas and First Gen Professionals

27. Why WOC Must Quit their Low-Paying Nonprofit Jobs

Listen Later

In episode 27 of The First Gen Coach, host Carla Santamaria breaks down the societal forces that socialize women of color into low-paying jobs in social services, education, and the nonprofit sector. Carla details the urgency for WOC to leave these jobs, which, in addition to paying near poverty wages, also require a self-sacrificial mindset and have unrealistic workload expectations that harm a WOC's physical and mental health.


This episode is a replay of an Instagram Live that aired on Black Women's Equal Pay Day on September 21, 2022, and is being released in acknowledgement of Latina Equal Pay Day which falls on December 8th, 2022.

In this episode, we also discussed:

  • Why student loans are both racialized and gendered
  • Why many so-called "female-dominated" fields are actually female-majority yet male-dominated
  • The "problem" Woman of Color in a Nonprofit Organization
