Being part of this committee has helped me demystify what it means to be a data analyst or enthusiast. As a Black woman, this is not something that is highlighted as a field or position that I can grow in, and it increases my desire to find a role that allows space for me to dig deeper in data-based decision-making and creating data sources that are supportive to direct service workers.
