And it takes a toll on our companies.
We need to talk about that.
Our research showed that the path
for women of color is very different.
It shows up differently for us,
as I said before.
And what we saw was, first,
that women of color face many more
negative stereotypes in the workplace.
Secondly, we have to prove
ourselves more often.
Seventy percent
of the women of color we met
said they have to prove themselves over --
RG: And over.
DP: And over and over again.
We get paid less.
We get promoted less.
And we also get hired less often.
And when we do the right thing
and speak up about racism at work,
what we find is the system turns on us.
We're actually retaliated against
and very often traumatized yet again.
We also heard from women of color
that DE and I isn't working,
in fact, it's failing.
So there is a lot that has to change.
