Welcome to Brown Table Talk!


Today, our hosts Dee C. Marshall and Mita Mallick both LinkedIn top voices and advocates for diversity, equity, and inclusion, delve into the persistent issue of women of color being overqualified and underpaid in their workplaces. Using Taraji P. Henson's candid interview about her experiences with pay disparity in Hollywood as a case study, they explore the broader implications for women of color across various industries. They address the importance of Equal Pay Day, the significant pay gap between women and men, particularly among Black and Latina women, and discuss the role of allies in advocating for fair compensation. Tune in for juicy stories, insights, and of course some tips on how to defuse and handle the situation. Are you ready? Buckle up!
