Inspiring Black Women You Should Watch Out For In 2022

From working to narrow the wealth gap, to healing communities, to fighting for free and fair elections, to inspiring the masses, Black women have been pushing forward change. Obviously, this push has not been limited to the last two years as Black women have historically always been at the forefront of social movements.

This Black History Month, we are showcasing women who are making strides for the Black community through their inspiring careers or perseverance to fight for the common good. These women inspire us to step out of our comfort zone and “be the change we want to see in this world.”

Celebrating the Black Women Shaping History

Although Black History Month is almost over, educating yourself and celebrating the wins of Black women is an ongoing practice. It is so important to honor and recognize Black women that have been overlooked by our history books (check out “Black Women I Wished I Learned About in History Class”), but it is equally important to celebrate women that are making a difference —and making history— today.

Here are just a few of the many Black women making history in 2021, pushing back against systemic racism, uplifting, and empowering an entire generation.

Empowering Indigenous American Women on Equal Pay Day

In 1963, the Equal Pay Act was signed into law, making it illegal for employers to pay their workers lower wages solely because of their gender. Today, 57 years later, the wage gap still disproportionately affects women but it impacts some women even more than others. Indigenous American women face the second-largest wage gap, earning only 42% of what White men make. Indigenous groups have had their own set of unique challenges over the last 200 years that have led to ongoing social problems and implications for employment and economic attainment.

We sat down with Stephanie Poston (Pueblo of Sandia), who founded her own consulting communications firm, Poston & Associates LLC, 18 years ago. We wanted to learn more about her mission, how COVID-19 has impacted Indigenous communities, and what individuals and companies alike can do to mitigate the wage gap.

Creating a More Inclusive Culture: Ways to Eliminate Bias in Negotiations

While women are slowly climbing the corporate ladder, barriers still exist for many women in the workplace. There is still a shortage of women in leadership positions and for women of color, the numbers are even smaller. As many companies strive to create a more inclusive culture for women, core to this issue is the unconscious bias that occurs throughout the hiring (and promotion) process.

There’s a troubling pattern where women’s and minority’s competencies and experiences are consistently being overlooked. Efforts to diversify workforces has proven to be difficult.

We sat down with Cherise Bernard, the Campus Team Lead at Spotify, to uncover what other companies can do in order to help eliminate bias and create a more inclusive culture.

100 Years Ago Women Won the Right to Vote and the Unsung Women Who Made It Possible

One hundred years ago, in August 1920, the 19th Amendment was passed in the United States. Experts would argue that the 19th amendment "does not give women the right to vote," it rather prohibits "any discrimination based on sex." The historic Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 was a small spark to what would soon be a blazing fire. And just like any other movement in civil rights history, it took years of hard work and push back.

Black Women I Wished I Learned About in History Class

In the United States public school system, anti-racist pedagogy is a concept barely put into use. As a person who attended public school for the majority of my life, I have seen and experienced this first hand. The failure to incorporate African American figures, especially women, into the curriculum has left students with little to no knowledge about the actions of empowered women of color throughout history. While we do learn about major historical figures such as Sojourner Truth and Harriet B. Tubman, history largely overlooks women and especially women of color.

While there are countless others who deserve to be taught, here is just a shortlist of 10 African American women I wished I had learned about in class.

4 Black Women Share Their Insights to Negotiation and Better Pay

Throughout February we celebrate the achievements of black men and women in the United States. In honor of this annual observance, we celebrate the women whose courage and intellect have pushed our society forward. As the month comes to a close, we want to recognize the challenges that black women still face in the workplace - and the ways they can overcome those barriers.

Despite systematic issues of discrimination, black women are a rapidly emerging power full of untapped potential. Inspired by an exceptional group of black women, we asked for the negotiation advice they have for other women and how they can be better advocates for themselves.

While their marriage has been a topic of much debate, especially since the release of Selma in 2014, they were both strong advocates for the Civil Rights Movement.
