Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman's biography

At a glance

  • Cofounder of the Sadie Collective nonprofit
  • Author of two books on racial and gender equity
  • Economist focused on marginalized communities
Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman is an economist and author whose work centers on building systems that serve marginalized communities, particularly Black women, from the ground up. Anna co-founded the Sadie Collective, the only nonprofit tackling the pipeline problem for Black women in economics, finance, and policy. She has written two books: The Black Agenda, the first to feature Black experts proposing solutions to inequality across policy areas, and The Double Tax, an examination of the financial penalties women of color face in America. Anna's research translates complex economic disparities into concrete, accessible strategies. She identifies the hidden costs that discrimination imposes on individuals and organizations, then maps out practical interventions that audiences can implement immediately. Her work bridges the gap between academic economics and everyday decision-making, giving leaders at every level the tools to build more inclusive workplaces and policies. Audiences leave Anna's sessions with specific, evidence-based methods to identify and reduce discrimination in hiring and compensation, a clearer understanding of how systemic inequity creates measurable financial burdens, and a framework for inclusive leadership that produces better outcomes for entire organizations. Book Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman to give your audience a clear, research-backed roadmap for building equity into their work.
