Lightning Talk: 'Breaking the Money Taboo'

When was the last time you talked about how much you make? Do you even know what your total compensation this year is? Talking about money can be awkward, but it shouldn't be! We should all be able to chat openly about our salaries so we can make sure we're getting paid what we're worth.

The salary gap is real, women are paid on average 16% less than men, and Black women and Latinas have to work 2x more to match the paycheck of their white male counterparts. We need to break the money taboo and start working towards equality. Let’s start the change today! Hopefully, this is just the first step in getting you that raise and salary jump you deserve. Let's make it happen!
