Our new report highlights a critical issue: 43% of Black women have student loan debt, the highest among all racial and gender groups. This significant burden hampers economic progress and underscores the need for comprehensive solutions to address educational and financial disparities. The Sadie Collective is committed to shedding light on these issues and pushing for policies that support Black women's financial health. Dive into the report to learn more and see how you can get involved. #EconomicJustice #DebtCrisis #BlackWomenBest Anthony Barr Kayla A. Jones Maya L. Gabrielle Agbényiga https://lnkd.in/eVG5wrb8

I am thrilled to announce that I have re-joined the board of The Sadie Collective! 🌟 The Collective is dedicated to addressing underrepresentation in economics and related fields—and they are really (really) good at it! I am deeply committed to this cause and just doubled my recurring donation to ensure they can keep developing, celebrating, and supporting the pipeline through programs like the annual conference, Brookings research reception, Chicago Fed partnership, and the Sadie Summit! If you're also committed to increasing diversity within economics, it would be wonderful if you can also donate and no amount is too small! Together we can create opportunities and drive change. Let's make an impact! 🤝 #KnockThoseDoorsDown #SupportSadieCollective #DiversityinEcon Donate here:

We loved seeing our very own intern Omna B. and other students who have participated in our programming! Congrats to the 2024 summer course cohort of Pathways to Research and Doctoral Careers (PREDOC.org) students!
That's a wrap on our 2024 Summer Course: Using Big Data to Solve Economic and Social Problems! We want to extend the warmest of thanks to our partners at Opportunity Insights for their incredible support this year with program design and execution. Dr. Gregory Bruich, who serves as head instructor for the course, once again led an amazing group of lecturers, introduced young undergraduates to the fundamentals of data and social analytics, and helped them translate these skills into their first full-scale empirical projects! Not to mention our wonderful TAs, Rick Brown and Jay Sastry, who were available to students every week to trouble-shoot behind the scenes and clarify any questions they had along the way. There were so many people and organizations behind the success of our capstone research conference in Washington, D.C: Quentin Johnson (Becker Friedman Institute for Economics); Bola Olaniyan (The Sadie Collective); Jacqueline Meszaros (National Science Foundation (NSF)); David Wessel (The Brookings Institution); Michael Navarrete (National Bureau of Economic Research); Chinemelu Okafor (Harvard University); Harry Huy Do (Harvard University); Thomas Klier (Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago); Jocelyn Jackson (FRB); Rohan Williamson (Georgetown University); Sandile Hlatshwayo (International Monetary Fund); and Ray Reagans (MIT Sloan School of Management), to name a few. Thank you so much for extending your time and expertise! Our students had a wonderful experience presenting their work, gaining valuable feedback, and hearing current social scientists speak about pursuing a career in research. Lastly, to our cohort of 2024, thank you for your continued creativity and hard work throughout the past ten weeks. We are beyond grateful for the time we've had with each and every one of you. Please know the staff here at Pathways to Research and Doctoral Careers (PREDOC.org) will always be here to provide guidance and support along your unique pathways. Make sure to tag us in any exciting developments in your development as scholars! We would be happy to hear from you <3

The Sadie Collective's latest publication, "Navigating Wealth," unveils the pandemic's profound impact on Black women's financial health. The median net worth of Black female-headed households is just $44,900, starkly contrasted with the $285,000 net worth of white households. This glaring disparity underscores the urgent need for targeted economic policies and systemic changes to close the racial wealth gap. Explore the full report and join us in advocating for racial and gender equity. #BlackWomenBest #WealthGap #FinancialEquity Anthony Barr Kayla A. Jones Maya L.
