Today is Black Women Equal Pay Day, and while it might be viewed as just yet another “observation” on the calendar, it should be a time to get loud and raise awareness like never before. Especially since, for Black women, the pay gap is even wider this year. Black Women are paid 58 cents to the one dollar that non-Hispanic white men make in one year—five cents less than last year. From August 30 to September 12, Sweet July conducted a survey open to individuals who identified as Black women, and of the 150 responses we received were a wide range of ages, locations, professions, and of course, experiences.
