March 31st, 2020 is Equal Pay Day. This date symbolizes how far into the year women must work to earn what men earned in the previous year. Katica Roy, a gender economist and the CEO and founder of Pipeline, joins Sophia to break this all down. Katica shares her own story of what happened when she found out she was being paid less than her male counterparts, explains the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the implications of the lack of gender equity in newsrooms, the steps we need to take to finally close the pay gap, and more.
