I feel like I say this a lot in my personal and professional lives but it always seems to bear repeating: just because you can hire a person of color, a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, a person with a disability, a cisgender woman, or anyone from a marginalized group does not mean you SHOULD hire a person of color, a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, a person with a disability, a cisgender woman, or anyone from a marginalized group. Get your organizational culture, environment, and staff aligned with empathy, equity, and inclusion THEN revisit if you're even remotely ready to begin building a staff that reflects the community you serve.
