January 26, 2022Can you imagine an organization said to support Black people with no or just one Black person on the board? It’s like a panel discussing women’s rights with no women (which also happens). It makes no sense. “If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair,” is a famous quote by Shirley Chisholm I often hear in advocacy groups. I still believe it’s sound advice, but it also doesn’t capture how hard it can be for some people to carry around their chair everywhere, all the time. And it takes the pressure off the others at the table — they don’t have to change a thing. They are comfortably sitting in their chairs and don’t even have to acknowledge your chair is different or how much effort it took for you to bring it to the table. “If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair”
