(By Stacy M.

She describes these tariffs as a tax affecting working families, exacerbating financial strains already faced by single mothers and caregivers. Whitfield likens these tariffs to a “pink tax,” warning of severe repercussions for Black women entrepreneurs. As states explore independent trade negotiations, she emphasizes the crucial need for accessible economic solutions that directly impact people's lives.
