Women face gender wage gaps throughout their careers that impact their financial outlook despite their value and contributions.

➡️Overall, women earn $0.82 for every $1 earned by men. (IWPR)

- Hispanic and Latinx women earn $0.55 for every $1 earned by White men. (IWPR)

➡️Women with a bachelor's degree earn $0.74 for every $1 earned by men with a bachelor's degree.(Census.gov)

➡️Essential workers are more likely to be women, and particularly Black and Latinx women. (EPI)

➡️Women have accounted for 55% of job losses so far during the recession. (CAP)

➡️Women are 5x more likely to live paycheck to paycheck than men. (CNBC)

➡️Minority-owned businesses (women and people of color) are 3x as likely to be denied loans.

➡️Women hold the most student loan debt in America.

- Women hold nearly ⅔ of all student loan debt in the US, even though they make up 56% of all enrolled students. (AAUW)

➡️In 2020, only 3% of C-Suite positions were held by women of color, compared to 66% which were held by White men. (McKinsey & Company)

⭐️With the gender wage gap at a standstill, many women have taken matters into their own hands despite the odds. Results are inspiring ✨

➡️There are more female entrepreneurs than ever before.

- Between 2014 and 2019 there was a 21% increase in women-owned businesses

- Women of color account for 50% of all women-owned businesses as of 2019.

⭐️It's estimated that 6.4 million women of color-owned businesses employ nearly 2.4 million people and generate $422.5 billion in revenue.

(American Express)

➡️ Companies with more women in executive leadership are more profitable (HBR)

At CAN were are committed to helping women thrive. My mission is to see more women in leadership roles were decisions are made to change antiquated systems. Taking actionable steps to creating our own career journey that supports the lifestyle and values we honor.

Happy First Generation College Day!

Shout out to all the first gens paving the way 👊🏽

Being in a First Gen often can be challenging because we may be balancing school, work, family, funding our own college expenses, while navigating new spaces. It’s so important to find support and community when setbacks and challenges come our way.

I remember my day started at 8am to attend morning classes then work and night classes ending at 9pm followed by homework and study time until 2am 😬 No wonder I didn’t have time to learn to cook back in my early 20’s…..I made it up in my 30’s thanks to YouTube cooking videos🤣

Were are all my first gen at?! Drop below a 👊🏽 ⬇️
