The line that spoke to me stated simply, \u2018I am not tragically colored. There is no sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all,&#8217;\u201d she recounted. \u201cAt 17, I had no idea what life would bring but Zora\u2019s sentiment articulated so beautifully how I felt as a daughter of immigrants how I felt then and now. Nothing about me <em>was<\/em> or <em>is<\/em> tragic. I am perfectly made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The woman listed off her ability to multitask and do various things in both English and Spanish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am a woman of color. I am a mom. I am a cis-gendered Millennial who has been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder,\u201d the CIA official said. \u201cI am intersectional, but my existence is not a box-checking exercise. I am a walking declaration, a woman whose inflection does not rise at the end of her sentences, suggesting that a question has been asked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the woman, she earned her position at the CIA and it wasn\u2019t the result of \u201ccracks in the system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI used to struggle with imposture syndrome, but at 36, I refuse to internalize misguided, patriarchal ideas of what a woman can or should be. I am tired of feeling like I\u2019m supposed to apologize for the space I occupy rather than intoxicate people with my effort, my brilliance,\u201d she said. \u201cI am proud of me, full stop. My parents left everything they knew and loved to expose me to opportunities they never had. Because of them, I stand here today a proud first generation Latina and officer at CIA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am unapologetically you and I want you to be unapologetically you, whoever you are,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The video ends with a link to the CIA careers website link.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"11.921397379913\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WednesdayWisdom?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WednesdayWisdom<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am unapologetically me.

The truth is Americans don\u2019t care about a person\u2019s race, creed, or religion.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t care if a person is black, white, Asian, or Hispanics.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t care if a person is gay, straight, bisexual, or transgender.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t care if a person is Christian, Catholic, Buddhist, or Muslim.<\/p>\n<p>What Americans are focused on is finding the\u00a0<em>best\u00a0<\/em>people for the job. We want competent people that can protect our homeland and our interests. We aren\u2019t interested in checking off boxes on a diversity sheet. As long as the intelligence officer is qualified and knows what they\u2019re doing, we\u2019re on board.<\/p>\n<p>The CIA needs to drop this bogus ad campaign and get back to the\u00a0<em>real\u00a0<\/em>priority: finding intelligent individuals that are willing to go to great length stories defend our homeland.
