“As we all strive to make sure we are inclusive and sensitive to the rights, opportunities, and inclusivity of all people, especially Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, there are times that we must look at our own work and own anything we may do that is seen as offensive by others. In a recent flyer distributed to MSEA members advertising the Women’s Concerns Committee Leadership Cohort Training, including in ActionLine, we erred by using an image and quote by Nicki Minaj to represent leadership for women of color. I apologize to anyone who was offended and commit to doing a better and more sensitive job of selecting photos and quotes to associate with our trainings and all publications in the future, particularly when representing people from marginalized communities. We are proud of the female leaders in our union, our communities, and our country, and have many strong women of character to choose from in the future. I appreciate that this was brought to our attention; your feedback helps us to improve and do a better job of representing, reflecting, and empowering all members.” – MSEA President Cheryl Bost
