Nicholas Bayard writes: “In 2018, my wife, Sedia, and I welcomed a baby boy, Keaton, into our family. This past year, our oldest son, Ukweli, earned the rank of Eagle Scout, and I was appointed assistant chief equity officer for the city of Tacoma. My work involves addressing disparities in recruiting, hiring, and retention practices throughout the city, ensuring an equity lens is applied to all policy decision making and that we are building our collective consciousness as a city around issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion. We have an amazing office of ten people who investigate civil rights claims and provide training, community outreach, and policy support. Our chief equity officer, Diane Powers, is leading nationwide efforts to embed racial equity into public policy.”
