Summary

Girl power, boss babes, and independent women- I’m here at Prollenium’s Women Empowerment Summit in Arizona to speak and lecture alongside other incredible women in the aesthetics industry. In this podcast, I’ll be interviewing my expert colleagues and asking them about the lack of gender diversity in this field, how we as women find balance between family and work, and why it’s so important for women to inspire and motivate each other.

0:00.0	Well, hello, hello, guys, you're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K, Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon,
0:20.2	and it's time for a podcast.
0:22.3	This week we're going to talk about women empowerment.
0:25.8	I was so excited to be invited to lecture at Perlinium's Women Empowerment Conference
0:31.3	this past weekend in Arizona, alongside so many other incredible women and colleagues
0:36.8	in the aesthetics industry.
0:38.8	I think the subject of empowering women needs to take a little time in precedence to all
0:45.2	industry out there. Women make up so much of aesthetics. 90% of our patients are women, 90% of
0:52.4	the injectors out there are women, And we need to be becoming more involved with running this industry. We need more women on industry panels. We need more women speakers. We need more research driven by women about women. And I would love to see more women in the C-suite positions of major industry
1:13.0	and aesthetics. I know that women in every industry suffer. Did you know that in 2020,
1:21.2	data showed that women were paid on average, 83% of what men were paid. But to put that
1:26.6	another way, women were paid 83 cents to every dollar
1:29.9	paid to men. Many women of color were paid even less. For example, black women were paid 64%
1:37.1	and Hispanic women were paid 57% of what white non-Hispanic men were paid. Out of all the Fortune 500 companies, there are only about
1:47.9	9% of the companies with CEOs that are women, a total of 46 out of 500. And this is currently
1:55.5	the all-time high. So it's great that things are starting to change. But one study predicted that if women were paid the same rate as men,
2:04.3	the actual poverty rate would be cut by 50% because women are so often the glue that holds together the family.
2:12.5	They have to be working parents.
2:14.6	They're underpaid and they're driven by the need to succeed to feed their
2:20.1	children and to help their families. Like so many men are, but women have had this handicap for so
2:26.1	long that the more we talk about it, the more we demand our place at the table, the more likely
2:30.8	we are to see change. One of the good things is that situations are changing.
