It's time to break down these barriers and level the playing field! Learn more about what we do at www.bwipm.org

🚨 Today marks Black Women's Equal Pay Day, a reminder that our work is not yet done. 💼✨ On average, Black women must work well into the next year to earn what their white male counterparts made in the previous year alone -- This is unacceptable. As we stand in our power as senior corporate executives, let's use our influence to advocate for change, not just for ourselves but for the next generation of Black women rising through the ranks. We are leaders, innovators, and trailblazers who deserve to be compensated fairly for our expertise and dedication. Let’s continue to push for transparency, demand equal pay for equal work, and support each other in every step of our careers. It’s time for corporate America to recognize our value and invest in our worth. 💪🏾💼 #BlackWomensEqualPay #DemandMore #Leadership #CorporateExcellence

"Nearly two-thirds of Black professionals agree that they have to work harder than their colleagues to advance in their careers." (Coqual, 2019) This quote unveils a stark reality for women of colour in the corporate world – a reality marked not by a glass ceiling, but a concrete one. Jasmine Babers writes about the concrete ceiling versus the glass ceiling in her article, “For Women of Color, the Glass Ceiling is Actually Made of Concrete” (read more here: https://lnkd.in/equKr8WU). Here’s what she has to say: “A concrete wall reflects the barriers that women of color face more accurately. Let’s start by looking at the difference between the materials. While glass is tough, you can shatter it. You can see through it to the level above — and you know that there is something to aspire to. If you can see it, you can achieve it. Concrete, on the other hand, is practically impossible to break through by yourself. It’s definitely impossible to see through. There is no visible destination, just what seems like a dead end. This is what women of color face in the workforce: an often impenetrable barrier, with no vision of how to get to the next level.” As leaders, allies, and, frankly, as humans, we must continue to actively strive for transformative and meaningful change. By fostering inclusive environments, advocating for equal opportunities, and amplifying the voices of women of colour, we break down the barriers that hinder their progress. The journey to equality requires collective commitment, empathy, and a relentless pursuit of justice. We’ve got work to do. #BHM #BlackHistoryMonth #Allies #Allyship #DEI #BreakingBarriers #ConcreteCeiling #GlassCeiling

We had the incredible opportunity to attend a thought-provoking “Phenomenal Women Panel” discussion on Black Women in Real Estate held at the Cushman & Wakefield office London. As non-technical women in the industry this event was an eye-opener, highlighting the unique experiences, challenges and triumphs of all types of Black women in a predominantly male-dominated sector. Key takeaways from the event: 🔴 Representation Matters: Hearing from successful Black women in construction was truly inspiring. Their stories underscore the importance of true diversity and inclusion in the industry. 🔴 Breaking Barriers: The panellists shared their experiences of overcoming significant obstacles, from gender bias to racial discrimination, and their journeys are a testament to resilience and determination, whilst also highlighting the importance of retention, keeping women that look like us in the industry in hopes that it inspires the next generation of black women. 🔴 Mentorship and Support: A recurring theme was the crucial role of mentorship and support networks. Having a strong community and allies can make all the difference in navigating and succeeding in the industry. They gave specific advice on how to seek out mentorship and how it can be used to propel your career. Innovation and Leadership: These women are not just "minorities" participating in the industry; they are leaders and innovators, driving change and paving the way for future generations. Thank you to the organizers BWRE (Black Women Real) and all the amazing panellists for such an enlightening discussion Nannette Sakyi MRICS, Carolina Lopato R, Sheryl Owen, Cheryl Effiom and Beryl Mutandiro. #WomenInConstruction #DiversityAndInclusion #BlackWomenLead #ConstructionIndustry #BreakingBarriers #MentorshipMatters

It’s a fact: 45 percent of Black women report experiencing the majority of racism in their professional lives. This staggering statistic is just the tip of the iceberg. If we truly want to build equitable workplaces, we need to enlist all kinds of allies. This includes white women, 80 percent of whom see themselves as allies. However, only 10 percent of Black women say their allies are white. At the Racial Justice at Work Summit: Justice for All, Jennifer Brown and Adrienne J. Lawrence will discuss the allyship gap between white and Black women in the workplace, relating this to their own personal experiences. Register here: https://lnkd.in/gpqpZt7Z They will highlight the discrepancy between white women's perception of themselves as allies and the actual support Black women feel they receive. The conversation will address the significant racism Black women encounter professionally and the need for white women to better understand and support their Black colleagues. This session will explore and emphasize the importance of self-reflection and demonstrate how to effectively bridge this gap to create a more inclusive work environment. Join Jennifer Brown, Founder and CEO of Jennifer Brown Consulting, and Adrienne Lawrence, Vice President and Senior Consultant at Jennifer Brown Consulting, at the VIRTUAL Racial Justice at Work Summit: Justice for All here: https://lnkd.in/gpqpZt7Z #RacialJusticeAtWork #JusticeForAll
