In this week’s episode of Yo Quiero Dinero, Jannese sits down with economist, author, and changemaker Anna Gifty to unpack the hidden costs women of color face in every stage of life — what Anna calls “The Double Tax.”
From beauty standards and career hurdles to childbirth, caregiving, homeownership, and even retirement, Anna breaks down how racism and sexism compound to leave women of color overcharged and underpaid — and what we can do about it.
You’ll hear:
Anna reminds us that we’re not imagining the struggle, and we’re not alone in it. With empathy, community, and action, we can begin to dismantle the structures that hold us back.
