Chile shared with us, “When I first shared news of my transition, I received many sentiments of congratulations, but my news was also met with quite a bit of confusion and questions of “why?” Afterall, “you’ve made it,” “you’re the CEO!”. Reflecting as a woman of color, who grew up without a lot of resources, who’s had to fight, scrape and build every rung of the ladder that I’ve climbed, in many ways, those questions were valid. I was grateful to be at a place in life where I loved my work; serving the children and families of Ludlow alongside an incredible team, and quite frankly, a place where I could remain very comfortable for many years to come. Instead, I was giving this up to be part of something brand new and comes with lots of uncertainty. I suppose the only way I can explain my decision is to say that what I am certain about is that when it comes to preparing our children and giving ALL children the best possible start and the opportunity to create bright futures, the playing field is not level and there is still a lot of work to be done. Simply put, there are too many young people out there that cannot afford for individuals like me to ‘be comfortable.’ As a part of the Hope for Youth & Families Foundation, I look forward to being able to do transformational work that will ripple not just through one organization but will connect many together and ripple through entire systems and communities. Yes, it was an incredible leap of faith but as someone that typically never bets, I’d say betting on our children is the best and smartest bet we can make.”
