Today, I’m talking with Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman, a writer and researcher as well as the youngest-ever recipient of the Women’s Human Rights Award by the UN Convention. Her new book, ⁠<a href="https://bookshop.org/a/90396/9780593714256">The Double Tax</a>⁠, is out now. We covered:
<ul>
 <li>(00:00): Intro</li>
 <li>(07:45): Black women as the group whose economic progress (or stagnation) signals what’s coming for everyone else</li>
 <li>(24:20): Beauty spending as an investment in respectability and social capital</li>
 <li>(50:35): The study that explored hiring discrimination and what came out of it</li>
 <li>(01:00:00): Why reputational damage is one of the only consistent levers of power that "the masses" can wield to force change</li>
 <li>(01:04:00): The rational economic case for solidarity as the only way forward during crises</li>
</ul>
