Hello, My name is Suzanne Lo, retired from City College of San Francisco. I just wanted to encourage everyone to continue the work because it may be challenging when there are push backs. The diversity work started back in early 2000s to start a campus-wide faculty forum under Multicultural Infusion Project (MIP) to teach critical pedagogy and other diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Change wasn't easy. For example, the Academic Senate achieved gender and racial parity for the first time within ten years!
We invited guest speakers to share their expertise with the faculty and students like Tim Wise, Derald Wing Sue, etc. Dr. Sue's talk about Microaggressions was enlightening for many faculty. The best conference to attend through professional development funds was NCORE, NCORE > Home

Charlene A. Carruthers is a Black, queer feminist community organizer and writer with over 10 years of experience in racial justice, feminist and youth leadership development movement work. She currently serves as the national director of the Black Youth Project 100 (BYP100), an activist member-led organization of Black 18-35 year olds dedicated to creating justice and freedom for all Black people. First politicized as an 18 year old while studying abroad in South Africa, her passion for developing young leaders to build capacity within marginalized communities has led her to work on immigrant rights, economic justice and civil rights campaigns nationwide. With a focus on intersectional liberation, Charlene's organizing capacities span across a broad range of topics and she currently serves as a board member of SisterSong, a reproductive justice organization that promotes solidarity among women of color. She is an Arcus Leadership Fellow and Front Line Leadership Academy graduate who has led grassroots and digital strategy campaigns for national organizations including the Center for Community Change, the Women's Media Center, ColorOfChange.org and National People's Action, as well as being a member of a historic delegation of young activists in Palestine in 2015 to build solidarity between Black and Palestinian liberation movements.
