My interview lasted ~ 1 hour. The parts that made it lasted 4 minutes. I don't remember specifically if I did or didn't uplift specific orgs, but I'm sure I spoke about the CS community at large because I regularly do.

Glad to see this was actually a “documented” goal however it certainly wasn’t a primary focus or highlight of your work initially because you all didn’t know how. Thus the outreach to orgs like mine and other educators of color. This happened.
so there’s that...We've always had a focus on diversity, our mission honestly hasn't changed. Maybe you noticed it later. And I'm also sure we reached out to anybody who had more experience for help. I personally spoke to at least 100 experts in CS and diversity in 2011-2013 to learn.

I'm writing this because I can understand that if you truly felt we changed mission to focus on diversity to "follow the money," you might resent that about us. What I'm sure has evolved is our messaging around it, as we've learned over time.

For example, before
@codeorg, I believed the same incorrect narrative that diversity is just a pipeline problem. I learned over time. We can all learn and improve.
