The Black Women’s Congressional Alliance looks to promote diverse voices to work in the staff offices of Congress – even against the odds. From wage gaps to micro-aggressions, Women Rule talks with three staffers - Jennifer DeCasper, Rhonda Foxx, and Meaghan Lynch - about their experiences as black women on Capitol Hill.

Jennifer DeCasper is the chief of staff to Sen. Tim Scott, a Republican representing South Carolina. Rhonda Foxx is the chief of staff to Congresswoman Alma Adams, a Democrat from North Carolina. And Meaghan Lynch is the communications director for Congressman GK Butterfield, a Democrat from North Carolina.
