it was part of a series of staff development with RMI that started before I got hired. today we did "policy biographies" in which we described our life experiences with respect to race and then talked about what institutions or systems were involved (if any) and how they were involved

the first question was when we came to understand that race was a factor or issue in our lives, for example, while another asked what the biggest barriers we've faced are, etc.

lol why would you think that? I mean, my moral could be higher, but that more has to do with foundation funding and their grant cycles that pay for my job than anything

I guess if I worked at a conservative group we would have more money...

How much are you paying them to essentially just read you and your coworkers a Buzzfeed article?
