In this episode, we explore the concept of the "Black tax"—the emotional and financial burdens Black professionals face due to systemic barriers in the workplace. Drawing on insights from Regina Rivers, we examine how these extra hurdles impact career advancement, generational wealth, and community well-being. Discover how targeted programs, strong networks, and collective action can dismantle these obstacles, foster true equity, and unlock the full potential of Black professionals and entrepreneurs. Join us as we discuss why addressing the Black tax is not just a matter of fairness, but a necessary step toward thriving, inclusive workplaces and communities.
