Harsh Reality: Black women often retire into poverty.

Have you started thinking ahead about retirement? Experts like Rahel Cook of US Bank Wealth Management say, "The best time to start planning for retirement is as early as possible."

Shemira Fermon of Primerica Financial Services advises aiming for at least $2 million, considering future economic changes.

Dr. Dana Palma advises to make sure you’re contributing to your company-matched 401K. “Even if you're living paycheck to paycheck... you're leaving money on the table.”

Degrees? That’s old news for some companies.

They’re actually ditching the bachelor's degree requirement, not to pay less, but to keep up with tech advancements. And guess what? Non-degree holders are landing six-figure roles too!

Is this a slap in the face for Black women who are considered the most educated demographic? Or, is this good news because college tuition is getting out of hand?

Now, if you have a degree, how can you leverage your degree with these changes?

Did you know 31% of Black households are run by Black women? ⁠

Our article, “Breaking Financial Barriers for Black Women Through Communication” discusses securing the bag and breaking down financial barriers. ⁠
⁠
For instance, Dr. Dana Palma, financial advisor at Edward Jones says, “For our generation, we were never taught about finances.” This means we need to start talking about money in our families and communities. ⁠

And Shemira Fermon at Primerica Financial Services believes that Black women are key to the financial planning for the Black family. “Black women are used to doing everything... so they know what money is left.”⁠

“The math ain't math-ing.”

Despite her amazing performance in Benjamin Button, Taraji P. Henson says her paycheck didn't reflect her talent.

Whew! This seems to be a harsh reality many Black actresses face in Hollywood. And unfortunately, it’s something that many of you are experiencing in other industries too.

We’re glad she’s opening up the conversation, to break down long standing barriers. It’s important that we fight for fairness.

What steps can we take to make sure there is equal pay in every industry?
