I acknowledge that but it also doesn't guarantee the person is going to do a good job. The last person just repeated white supremacy!

I also don't feel comfortable asking another PoC to do work with an organization that has actively harmed them. That doesn't seem right.

But you'll work with an organization that has actively hurt POC? :/ I know you mean well, that you want to make a space for them, to fix it

But they are telling you it is too broken and you diving in runs the risk of tarnishing you! I mean no offense, you know I respect you.

But you don't know what URM need, they do. They say they're not getting it! You are saying POC in org are being ignored? So are they.

Red flags everywhere, Jess! You don't know what's best for them, you can't make this okay. The organization has already screwed the pooch!

If the POC in the org are being ignored, if u are being ignored, if u are still fighting for this THIS CLOSE TO LAUNCH it's a failed launch.
