“We work hard for the money, so hard for it, honey!”
In this episode we chat about Equal Pay Day and uncover the staggering truths behind the gender and race pay gap, with hard-hitting statistics that illustrate how women, particularly women of color, lose over hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of their careers compared to men.
Join us as we explore how freelancing can serve as a powerful tool to combat these inequalities, putting you in control of your rates, your work, and your worth. We explore strategies for understanding market rates, effectively communicating your value, and mastering the art of negotiation.
Listen, learn, and let's bridge the pay gap together!
