In recognition of ongoing disparities that affect millions of Black women, In These Times magazine and the Leonard C. Goodman Institute for Investigative Reporting present a 12-episode podcast series In The Gap, hosted and produced by award-winning Black woman journalist Chandra Thomas Whitfield. Available now on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, TuneIn, and most major podcast platforms (view the episodes list and listen on InTheseTimes.com), In The Gap features everyday Black women and experts alike sharing their personal experiences and insights facing systemic racism, gender discrimination and ultimately pay discrimination on their jobs.
“The In The Gap podcast explores how race and gender discrimination affects the lives—and livelihoods of Black women in the American workplace,” says Thomas Whitfield, a 2019-2020 Goodman Institute fellow, whose work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Huffington Post, Essence and on NBCNews.com. “With the latest research on this issue as a backdrop, this podcast provides a space for Black women to share their emotional experiences while also exploring solutions. Listeners have an opportunity to learn and grow in their understanding of the historic issues, public policies, and contemporary challenges that contribute to the chronic economic and wealth disparities that persist for Black women and their families in American society. More importantly, this podcast affirms their experiences and with data as a backdrop, conveys to America why Black women's’ livelihoods matter. We deserve equal pay!”
