13:46Now PlayingYou've probably heard of the pink tax—that additional price women pay to exist in the same world as men. Now meet the double tax, the compounded cost of racism and sexism or the pink tax and then some.The Double Tax dares to ask why it’s so expensive to be a woman in America and why it doesn’t have to be this way.

Not only do the numbers reveal that women incur higher costs than men, but also that Black and white women lead vastly different lives, marked by dramatic gaps in job opportunities, salaries, housing costs, childcare access, and generational wealth. She coins this gap as the “double tax,” the compounded cost of racism and sexism. She speaks with Bloomberg's Carol Massar, Tim Stenovec, and Norah Mulinda.
