ISSUE #23 - Nov 20, 2019

Hello!

This issue, we have multiple career resources shared by our very own Amplify community! Thanks for supporting each other!

Today is Latina Equal Pay Day, the day when Latinas pay catches up to that of white, non-Hispanic men from the previous year. That’s 323 additional days of work! Please encourage a Latina (and any woman of color) to learn the skills and mindset for how to ask for fair and equal compensation. Need resources? Let me know, I’ll point you toward the right place :)

Happy reading!
