In this episode, Jessica Moorhouse interviews economist Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman about her book and the concept of the 'Double Tax' affecting women of color.

Anna breaks down the concept of the "Double Tax," describing it as the "Pink Tax and then some," and explains how the compounded costs of racism and sexism force women of colour to pay more to exist in our economy, and what we can all do to make things more equitable for everyone.
