Really nailed the sentiment that the plan for TFA wasn't fully formed, since it didn't account sufficiently for racial inequity and intentional diversity.

Noting the article, it is really interesting that this article highlighted career changers, veterans, and people remaining in their communities when that was still not the bulk of the corps in 2012. Really appreciate the model to recruit and accept CMs that have ties to the community they are working in.

I very much appreciate the naming of racial trauma. I have a lot of thoughts and feelings here (as someone who has experienced racial trauma). There is a lot of nuance and when well-meaning white people try to speak over me, and naming it for me instead of listening as I try to name it for myself, it gets tiring.

As someone who did the corps a long time ago and someone who did seasonal staff a long time ago (hi, it's Ashley 2007 LA CM and 2009-2013 LA Institute, joined full time in 2012) it feels really dismissive of some of the experiences I had in 2007 and early in staff both as a part time and full time staff member to hear people say nothing has changed. Change is not a binary. While I am not really excited we are where we are today because so much more change is necessary, when people say nothing has changed it erases the work and effort (by a lot of people of color) who have fought for a lot of the things people take for granted within the org. I don't want to sound too "old man yells at cloud" about it, but I appreciated the acknowledgement of the change in your story.
