Founded by Chisholm, SCCI is dedicated to advancing her vision of equity through innovative initiatives and strategic partnerships led by global leaders in art, culture, social justice + technology.
Today we honor the International Day for Women and Girls of African Descent. This global observance highlights intersectional discrimination, honors human rights, and celebrates achievements. #internationaldayforwomenandgirlsofafricandescent #Blackwomenlead #unitednations
Black women continue to be underpaid, undervalued, and overrepresented in low-paid jobs, with little opportunity for advancement and important workplace protections out of reach, at a time when Black women are facing rising costs and rising unemployment. #blackwomenequalpayday
