This is such an important message. As a white woman I can’t claim to know the experience of Black women, but I do know that women have undersold themselves for years. I learned an important message when I once lost business to a less qualified male who charged more. Turned out that by underselling my services I was unwittingly sending the message that I was less valuable. So I completely agree- be generous but also claim what you’ve rightfully earned!
Thank you, Karen. Indeed, as women, we have been sold a “ bill of goods” that we must be more demure in our advocacy for ourselves — how dare we be deemed aggressive in the asking! Yet, “ We rise, we rise, and we rise!” Thank you again for the generosity of your words and time.
