Today, on Latina Equal Pay Day, we recognize a gap that cannot be ignored.
For every $1 earned by a white, non-Hispanic man, a Latina earns just 53¢. That means it can take Latinas approximately 10 additional months and 8 days to earn what he earned in one year.
This must change.
At the Latina Leadership Institute of Rhode Island, we believe closing the gap begins with opportunity. We continue to develop, empower, and elevate Latina leaders—building the confidence, skills, networks, and opportunities women need to advance, lead, and thrive.
Because representation in leadership matters.
Economic opportunity matters.
Latinas matter. 💗
