Join us for a fun evening celebrating the release of "The Double Tax" by Anna Gifty Opoku Agyeman!
About this Event

Join us for the book launch of The Double Tax by Anna Gifty Opoku Agyeman, a powerful new book that unpacks the compounded cost of racism and sexism — or, as Anna puts it, the pink tax and then some.

In The Double Tax, Anna takes readers on a journey to uncover the everyday costs women face simply for existing. Drawing from conversations with hundreds of women and grounded in research, she reveals how women spend more money, time, and effort than men — and how the gap grows even wider for Black women. From beauty and motherhood to career and retirement, Anna exposes the hidden price tags of womanhood and charts a bold path forward that centers women without leaving anyone behind.

The evening will feature:

  • A panel conversation with author Anna Gifty Opoku Agyeman and Tamieka Atkins (Executive Director of ProGeorgia), diving into the themes of the book and the real-world systems that drive the double tax.
  • Time for audience Q&A and reflections.
  • A reception with refreshments and opportunities to connect with fellow changemakers.

1 complimentary copy of The Double Tax included with each registration for the first 200 registrants.

This launch event is proudly sponsored by Common Future and ProGeorgia, two organizations working to build a more just, inclusive economy and democracy. Come for the conversation, stay for the community — and help imagine a world without the double tax.
