In April of 2016, I accepted an opportunity with the Canada Revenue Agency, in Prince George, BC, as a Collection Officer and later had a chance work in the Audit- refund integrity department.  In 2017, after reading in the Public Services Survey that many people of colour had experienced racism and harassment in the Public Services workplace, I accepted an offer to join the Employment Equity, Diversity, and Inclusive (EEDI) Pacific Region sub- committee as the Visible Minority Representative. I joined EEDI because I believe that as Public Servants we care for the benefits of a country that is build on back of differences and diversity were many come to escape the injustices of the world, knowing that hey will find fairness and justice;  but before we as servants can give our best  to the people of Canada,  we ourselves must first be able to come to work knowing that we are safe from harassment and discrimination within our own organization.  I believe we are all equally responsible to step forward and drive the changes for equality.
