' Working mothers play a critical role in their families’ economic security, and women of color are more likely to have an outsized role. The vast majority of Black mothers—over 80%—are primary breadwinners.... Six out of 10 Black women either don’t take the leave or do so without pay ... [This forces] them to make difficult choices between caring for a loved one or putting food on the table. '
