What are some of your proudest recent achievements? I am incredibly proud of what I was able to accomplish while working with the New York City Commission on Human Rights. My time at the agency coincided with the previous presidential administration. We worked hard to demonstrate that we could serve and share power with communities that had been ignored or mistreated by government in the past and were facing active threats from government in the current moment. Our city has a particularly important role to play in this respect. People who are skeptical of multiracial democracy often like to misrepresent what happens here. They like to stoke fears about what happens when people of color constitute a majority, when communities of color exercise political power and when policy priorities begin to shift accordingly. But the truth is, New Yorkers are engaged in an imperfect and evolving process of democracy that many other Americans could learn from, and I'm glad to have played a role.
