Yesterday, on Latina Equal Pay Day, I had the privilege of attending a powerful negotiation workshop hosted by Chica Project in collaboration with Working 4 Women and ZS Consulting. This event reminded me of how critical it is for Latina women to advocate for equal pay and fair treatment in the workplace. Did you know that Latina women earn only 55 cents for every dollar earned by non-Hispanic white men? This wage gap means we have to work almost an extra year to earn what others do in just 12 months. As a first-generation, low-income woman, I know how taboo it can be to even discuss pay. Growing up, many of us were taught to be grateful for any opportunity that came our way, which often stopped us from asking for what we truly deserved. But gratitude should never mean settling for less. Far too often, Latina women—particularly women of color—hesitate to negotiate for fair pay out of fear of being seen as overly assertive. This internalized belief that we should just be content costs us financially and perpetuates the inequalities we face. This workshop reinforced the importance of pushing past these fears, knowing our worth, and advocating for ourselves and each other. It’s time to break the cycle, have these conversations openly, and demand the pay and opportunities that reflect our true value. I’m grateful to Chica Project, Working 4 Women, and ZS Consulting for creating a space where Latina women can gain the tools and confidence to demand pay equity. Together, we can change the narrative and fight for equity for all. #LatinaEqualPayDay #EqualPay #LatinaLeadership #ChicaProject #Working4Women #ZSConsulting #NegotiationSkills #KnowYourWorth #FirstGeneration
