Fighting The "Glass Ceiling"

This time I'm Telling It Like It Was Told by a woman to a man... While suffering from a creative block I asked one of my male friends what he has heard his female friends stress over (other than men) as of late and this is what he came up with:

Being able to see the top but never being able to reach it, this is the phenomena, created by the "glass ceiling". Despite educational accomplishments or experience, women (especially black women) have faced the halting power of the "glass ceiling" since their entrance into corporate America.

This prevention of advancement has been displayed in many forms with in corporations,one of these is Differences in Pay for similar(the same) work: Better known as "The Gender Wage Gap" it has been found that women make 75.3 cents on the dollar to men and are also more frequently hired for positions that are of a lower pay grade (i.e. administrative vs. managerial).

How can you fight this?

Between 2008 and 2009 the number of firms owned by African American women have increased 19% and have generated about 29 billion dollars in sales nationwide. Women have been able to not only move up in position but also in pay grade. These women have been fighting the glass ceiling by becoming their own bosses. THIS COULD BE YOU!

Things You Can Do:

First things first, Remember Your Passion!!!! Invest your energy in what you love, do what you love. For instance if you love to cook, start your own catering business or be a visiting chef. If you love to sew start a tailoring business. Your passions and talents will lead you above the glass ceiling and beyond by putting your destiny in your own hands.
