Join Juliette Mayers, award-winning author of "A Black Woman's Guide to Networking" and "The Guide to Strategic Networking," for a discussion on how to achieve career success through networking. As a successful entrepreneur, DEI strategist and host of the "Entering the Inspiration Zone Podcast", Juliette is living the American Dream and is passionate about helping others achieve their dreams. Drawing on her personal experience and 30+ years of corporate and entrepreneurial experience, Juliette will address the challenges and opportunities for women of color.
Whether it is Pay Inequity in the Workplace or Barriers to Capital for WOC Entrepreneurs, it is a fact that Black, Indigenous, Latinx and other women of color, are disproportionately impacted by the gender wealth gap and are economically marginalized. The COVID-19 recession or “shecession”, has deepened and exacerbated pay inequality by gender and race, which will have lasting impacts.
This session will explore the wealth gap that continues to perpetuate inequalities. We will also discuss the essential tools and solutions that are necessary to tackle this issue in all its forms. Addressing this concern is not only important for the financial well being of women, but an essential step in rebuilding our economy and must be a focal point in recovery efforts in the present and future.
Please join us March 31st at 12pm EST for a robust and inspirational conversation with our Keynote Speaker, Jacquie Abram, Antiracism Consultant and international bestselling author Of “Hush Money.”
