This episode is all about the societal forces that socialize women of color into low-paying careers in the nonprofit, education, and social services sector. I also share why it is urgent for WOC to leave these jobs, which are not only paying near poverty wages, but also have unrealistic workload expectations that harm our physical and mental health. All in the name of "giving back to our community" of course. Because that's the lie we've been fed. This is actually a re-release of one of the top 3 most downloaded episodes on the podcast. If you're new here, I am excited for you to listen to it for the first time! If you've heard this episode before, I strongly encourage you to listen to it again. To be clear, CORPORATE AMERICA IS NOT PERFECT!! But at the very least, it is not pretending that the only way people can give back to their communities is by dedicating their professional careers to exploitative nonprofit jobs.

Lastly, this episode addresses the intersectional pay gap. Latina earners were paid just 52 cents for every dollar paid to a non-Hispanic white man in 2022. In this episode, I address what the Latina Pay Gap is and why is it a systemic failure and not the result of any individual shortcoming.
