I have been in the ”progressive,” “anti-racist” environmental nonprofit field for over a decade. I have an environmental law degree and have even taken on increasingly more challenging roles and responsibilities with each job change. I expected a lot more from progressives – as they certainly like to talk the talk when it comes to BLM, environmental justice, equity, and “anti-racism.” However, for anyone reading the news about the attempts at all the national green groups attempting to retaliate against workers for unionization, we know that is not the case.  

After nine years in the healthcare IT consulting business, with two of those years at Liberty IT Solutions, my manager approached me with a promotional opportunity to become a portfolio director.  I had turned down a similar offer before.  This time my manager applied more pressure, expressing encouragement from not only himself, but his manager who would become the Chief Operation Officer (COO) and colleagues who would become my peers. I asked, “Why me?” He responded with “Because you’re a minority and you’re a female.”
