Are you a creative? Have you been told to get a “real” Job?
from Black Girl Finance · host Selina Flavius
This week my guest is Sara Karpanen, a writer, artist and poet, the creator of the platform @womenofthewick and also the creator of a new platform called @getarealjobcollective. This episode we talk about the trope of the Starving artist and the pressures to get a “real job”. We also talk about the pay gaps that exist in the creative spaces and industries. Only 11% of art directors are women. We also talk about the gender pay gap for self employed which is a huge 43%. Sara’s platforms have been built to tackle this issue. If you have an interesting topic for the podcast get in touch. [email protected]. Also don’t forget to like, share and subscribe.
