“If you say you want parity, you say you want diversity, what are you doing internally to make sure that those people are thriving, not just shifting their way out because it’s not even comfortable for them to be in that space.”
- @ellacooper in the 50/50 @SJIWFF panel

[jamie miller @jmeleemiller]

"In our emerging programs we have to remember that some people are emerging later in life because of they had to deal with so many systems of oppression to figure out that their voice matters.” - @ellacooper, @SJIWFF
