It's shown up as a daughter, wife, mother, sister, professionally- literally everywhere.

In Colorado, we are only in the legislative session for 120 days. This is a short period of time to get a lot of important work done. Hard to get community input and full participation on policy when rushed. ]]> 2022-03-05 19:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/nikki216/WSCtraits/wish/2079392928 syahbconsulting https://padlet.com/nikki216/WSCtraits/wish/2079392964 A black trans woman reading a white woman for FILTH]]> 2022-03-05 19:13:19 UTC https://padlet.com/nikki216/WSCtraits/wish/2079392964 https://padlet.com/nikki216/WSCtraits/wish/2079392994 The idea of learning from attempts and mistakes is rare.]]> 2022-03-05 19:13:24 UTC https://padlet.com/nikki216/WSCtraits/wish/2079392994 nikki216 https://padlet.com/nikki216/WSCtraits/wish/2079393415 Working in a school district that is all saturated in WSC, I felt like everything needed to be done to the letter of the law. There was a policy for this that needed to align, there was a guideline for that and it had to align. In my school setting it felt like there was little room to think outside the box]]> 2022-03-05 19:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nikki216/WSCtraits/wish/2079393415 https://padlet.com/nikki216/WSCtraits/wish/2079393651 I think dichotomous/binary thinking is rooted in everything in our culture.

I have PCOS and even though I am gluten- and dairy-free as a result, I still struggle to feel like I am in control. PCOS is a cortisol (read stress) related chronic condition and even when I make a little progress, I feel like I am not healthy as a whole, while is a mindset shift I continue to try to move out of. ]]> 2022-03-05 19:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nikki216/WSCtraits/wish/2079393812 https://padlet.com/nikki216/WSCtraits/wish/2079393905 We are constantly bombarded with the notion that we need and deserve better just because we are American.

If i don't respond its not an insult to you as a professional, its because I'm exhausted and overwhelmed. But people really make it about themselves.

They STILL want you to be perfect/professional. Its the double standard. They want us to be authentically ourselves but still minimize us. ]]> 2022-03-05 19:22:00 UTC https://padlet.com/nikki216/WSCtraits/wish/2079396785
