Men of Color for Equal Pay: Interview with Patrick Kabanda

For the third season of Conversations for Equal Pay, Women of Color in the Workplace presents Men of Color for Equal Pay. The series features male leaders who support equal pay for equal work. The interviews are recorded in front of a live Zoom audience, then air later on the podcast. We realize how critical it is for women and women of color to build allies with men in the workplace. For one, equal pay for all can not be achieved alone. In addition, research states diversity matters. All voices are needed at decision-making tables. Therefore, together we’re stronger.

Hosted by Julene Allen, CEO of Women of Color in the Workplace
