'What I would have asked Sheryl Sandberg in that interview is, when you already feel like you don’t belong can you truly ask to be paid what a white man is being paid?'
Last week, Black Enterprise magazine published an interview with COO of Facebook and CEO of Lean In Sheryl Sandberg. It was rooted in the fact that Sandberg’s Lean In advice has fallen flat for most women, and more specifically for Black women.
Karlyn Percil worked in the financial industry on Toronto’s Bay Street for almost a decade. She’s now an Inclusion Facilitator and Growth Mindset Strategist. I remember when I did ask for more and my Caucasian boss was offended that I negotiated and said, and I quote: “She should just be grateful she has a job. Why is she asking for more?”
Sandberg advises Black women to leverage statistics on the pay gap. But in Canada anyway, most of the workplace stats have not even included women of colour. Canada is only now catching on and we only now have statistics citing racism in the workplace – a first here in Canada. Which means not every Black person is aware of the stats.
For decades Black women have taken on the burden of self-improvement; embracing the skin we are in, wearing our natural hair, learning to love our bodies, etc. We have also had to accept that our start line is not where white men and white women’s start line is. And in knowing this, brown and black women have still shown up in the world to pursue our passions and our careers.
