State of Womxn of Color Summit

Women of Color are the Future of Work

Women of color are shaping our country’s economic and social climate, and increasingly significant as national demographic trends continue to shift toward women of color becoming the majority among all women. Today women of color comprise 37% of our nation’s female population and approximately 20% of the entire U.S. population, and carry $2 trillion in purchase power.

Women of color have made incredible strides in educational attainment as the largest growing segment of degree holders and in the workplace—especially in entrepreneurship—yet their earnings and net wealth still pale in comparison to white peers. They lag behind in leadership positions, holding just 3% of C-Suite and corporate board roles, and face unique workplace disparities.

Future for Us’s mission is to change this.

As our region grows more diverse, we believe companies have an opportunity to leverage the skills and experiences of phenomenally talented women of color. This summit presents a unique opportunity to include the voices of women of color that are critical to shaping workplace policies and practices that affect their lives.

Who is the Summit for?

The Summit is designed for decision makers, DEI (diversity, equity, & inclusion) practitioners, and ERG (employee resource group) leaders of companies seeking to accelerate the advancement of women of color. This event is open to people of all age, race, ethnicity and gender. Learn more about the program here.
