Latinas and immigrant women are the most underpaid groups in the United States. If they all listened to Sheryl Sandberg, they'd never get a seat "at the table."
Great investigation. This made me think of one company (among others) that I've had some contact with here in Colombia...they keep losing out on contracts to American/European firms for pretty much no other reason than being Colombian. This company has a better portfolio, more experience, etc., but American companies will often choose some lackluster provider in the U.S. over them out of what looks like pure xenophobia and nervousness around the word "Colombia". Americans talk a big game about being inclusive, anti-discrimination, and so on, but when it comes time to get out the checkbook, they balk.

Great insight on Latina's hardships in the US
I'm glad it resonated with you, Rosa. Thanks for reading.
