My longtime bestie is a Latina whose hard work and savvy served her well on the corporate ladder. I would gladly step aside to support her in any role she chose to lead in and those who underestimated her learned their folly.

Meanwhile, in my ODHS (SNAP, OHP/Medical etc) I am dreading the anticipated escalation of calls fraught with political commentary from anyone who feels their benefits aren't up to snuff despite overstating their expenses and understating their income. I'll be working on my redirection skills while keeping mum on my own politics.
