I look around this room and I don't see anyone who looks like me. I'm going to walk out of this room and you're going to have discussions about me and my challenges. You're going to offer solutions. You're going to write a report. That report is going to be policy. I imagine, since there's no one who looks like me here now, that there won't be anyone who looks like me at that point.
I think representation is important. You need to prioritize that. More importantly, though, you need to engage the community in your decision-making. I know you're doing that here and now in this way, but you need to use us in the community to achieve these goals.
