I was raised to be accommodating, polite, and hard working and prided myself in my ability to fit in. As a bi-racial daughter of two immigrants, I didn't want to be different or feel different because I already looked that way without even trying.

It made finding my voice around diversity and inclusivity a bit scary to navigate at times, but it feels like some of the most important work I do.

It's why we continue to have the conversation at Seat @ the Table about actions we can all take that add up to more women having more seats at more tables.
