The speaker admits to early inclusion mistakes as a manager, assuming diversity alone would create a welcoming environment. Feedback revealed some team members felt excluded due to lack of representation. Treating everyone equally doesn't guarantee fairness due to historical biases favoring certain groups. Building an inclusive environment requires proactive efforts to address systemic inequalities.

I've been fortunate as vice president to see people of all ages and genders realize that being the first at something shows they don't have to be limited by others' narrow views of what is possible.

It's crucial to address racial diversity. The Rhode Island federal court, with its all-white judicial officers and mostly white staff, exemplifies a lack of diversity. This is partly due to low turnover, making change difficult. However, our probation department, previously all-white, has transformed. We intentionally hired people of color to better reflect the community it serves. Imagine being a young African American defendant, entering a majestic courtroom, led by a white U.S. Marshal, surrounded by white faces. You might wonder, "Do they understand me? Can they relate to my life?" When your life is in their hands, representation matters.

The speaker discusses diversity and diversity targets at the Aveda Academy. They mention that the academy has committed to having 50% of the class be women or people of color, while currently only 19% of United Airlines pilots fit this criteria.

Speaker 0: What the do I have to do in this council in order to get respect as a black woman? I'm not afraid of anybody here. When I make a mistake, I will be clear. I don't hate you as a white woman. I don't hate you as a white man. I am sick and tired of this body so stupidly racially divided, so afraid, so depraved. People with no faith because they are afraid of their losing their advancement. They're afraid of bargaining. They're afraid of leveraging. These people have, oh my god. I can't even call you cowards because desperation deserves mercy. Cancer to redistricting. Fine. We give it to a white woman. Can we all get along? Can we get together? Can we love each other now? Can we make sure that black and brown babies don't die? Can we make sure that cops don't kill before people are proven innocent? Can we do that? No. No. No. No. Because this body crucifies you first because of allegations. This is not a court. You don't get to crucify people before they're proven guilty. They're innocent until proven guilty. Amen. Now after this, I will look forward to working with you because I have stamina. I believe, as Baldwin said, what you do not what you say. Your votes here sometimes are racist. You move sometimes in a way that hurts my people. Speaker 1: Yes. Say that. Speaker 0: And then when I get up to stand up and talk, oh, all she talks about is black stuff. Speaker 1: Yes. You should. Good. Speaker 0: I am here to represent every single black woman and man that suffers in the community. God has my back. Speaker 1: You got your Speaker 0: am not afraid to not have political asylum or any type of affiliations or connections. I came here, I fear none, no man, but my Lord. Amen. I came here to serve people. I came here to love. I came here to grow. But people talk about this racial equity thing. It's all fake. Speaker 1: Thank you. And Speaker 0: you do politics and you hurt each other. And yet, here I am, five foot tall African woman from the projects. And I am here to tell you, if the voters don't vote me back Speaker 1: We are get votes back.

In most meetings I attend, I'm the only non-white person. The top positions in Scotland are mostly held by white individuals, including the lord president, high court judges, law enforcement officials, medical officers, and trade union leaders. This lack of diversity extends to the Scottish Government, where all director generals and public body chairs are white. This lack of representation is unacceptable.

I notice a lack of diversity in this crowd, particularly regarding people of color, and I'm curious about the reasons behind it. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we acknowledge Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman on the U.S. Supreme Court, appointed by Joe Biden, who aimed to follow in Jimmy Carter's footsteps by appointing more women and Black women to federal judgeships. General Brown, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, may also be present, though it's hard to confirm. I did see Jim Clyburn here.

Diversity and inclusion are generally considered good, but equity must also be considered. Diversity means inviting different types of people to the table. Inclusion means including all of their ideas. Equity means ensuring everyone at the table has equal access to having their ideas heard. Current statistics suggest there isn't enough leadership or representation.

Every case should prioritize racial justice, regardless of the demographics of the courtroom. It is important for everyone, including older white individuals like myself, to treat every person equally, regardless of their age or ethnicity. One way to do this is by checking our biases. I encourage everyone to undergo implicit bias training to become more aware of their biases.

The speaker discusses the difference between equity and equality. They explain that equality refers to equal opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their background. On the other hand, equity focuses on ensuring equal outcomes for everyone. The speaker expresses their preference for equality over equity.

The speaker argues that although diversity and inclusion are generally seen as positive, equity must also be included.

I've never personally experienced racism, but it significantly impacts the criminal justice system, influencing stops, arrests, prosecutions, and sentencing. This makes it easy to ignore, especially without diversity among colleagues. Race is a daily presence in courtrooms, notably in criminal cases but also in civil cases. Diversity is crucial everywhere, but it's especially vital in the judiciary. President Obama prioritized racial diversity on the bench, unlike President Trump. I hope President Biden will prioritize racial diversity as well. Without diversity of thought, the courts can't function correctly. Our role is to protect the minority while upholding the Constitution, and without diversity we risk perpetuating the rule of middle-class white men.

- Role models and influences: The speaker looked to elders and artisans in the community as mentors, including those who built artwork, carried tradition (chanting, drumming), or made items. Family examples included beadwork, basketry, and a father who made blowguns. Despite hardship, these elders remained focused on work and achievement, not poverty. Experiences of discrimination, such as being asked to sit in the back at a cafe in Philadelphia, were acknowledged, as were the sacrifices involved in public service. The speaker references Chief Martin, a predecessor who served in the military and then worked for the people, noting that public service requires sacrificing family and personal desires. The overarching message is that observing role models who worked with their hands and minds to overcome adversity inspired perseverance and responsibility. - Meaning and practice of representation: Representation begins with everyday actions, not just titles—being a giver and community-minded, helping others, and remembering where one comes from. The speaker recalls a generational ethic of work and giving to youth, influenced by parents who uplifted others despite poverty. In formal terms, representation extends beyond local impact to county, state, national, and federal levels, including the possibility of walking the halls of Congress to represent the community’s interests and do the necessary work for its betterment. - Steps for allies and understanding: The speaker advocates for a government-to-government relationship and networking across local, city, county, state, and federal levels to share who they are and why they act as they do. Emphasis is placed on respecting different perspectives and optics—acknowledging that one side may not see what the other sees—and the importance of mutual respect in all interactions. The core idea is that effective allyship and understanding come from open, respectful dialogue that recognizes diverse experiences and viewpoints.

I know that many people feel detached, hopeless, and unheard, and that our institutions are partisan and dysfunctional. It may seem like our democracy is dying, but each of you chose to become a lawyer because you believed you could make a difference. Hold onto that belief. If you ever doubt our democracy, visit a naturalization ceremony and witness new citizens, who have overcome so much, proudly becoming Americans and believing in our country. You can defend democracy by offering your legal knowledge to those in need, volunteering at clinics, representing pro se plaintiffs, or mentoring students. By sharing yourself, you restore faith in democracy and can alter someone's life, maybe even your own. So march forward, believe in yourselves and in America, and defend our democracy.

The speaker emphasizes that they respect the elected official's decision and believes in hiring based on diversity and quality. The speaker concludes by stating that all three special counselors are exceptional and asks why they are being questioned.

I am proud to be the first black woman to serve as the 1st Vice President alongside a black President and the first black woman in the Supreme Court. Together, in the United States of America, there is nothing we cannot achieve.

The speaker notes that growing up, they didn't see female attorneys or people of color in that role in their hometown. Now, summer interns of all backgrounds can see someone who looks like them on the bench, which the speaker believes is beneficial due to representation. The speaker wants kids and law students to see them and believe that they can achieve similar success.

I want children to see themselves in everyday stories, like going to the park with family. This exposure provides them with insights they may not receive in school. Being visible in educational settings allows others to feel it's acceptable to be visible too.
