May 3, 2021 | Can league members join the league at a later Tier, or do they need to start at Tier 1?
July 2, 2020 | We know it’s easy to say “we’re inclusive” but not actually take any action to increase inclusion in the highest levels of leadership (league and WFTDA). What are some actionable strategies you’re considering for (and recommending) increasing black and brown voices in leadership positions (Board, committee chairs, etc)? Baller had a great point about champs being very short of diversity (minus all us Indig folk! Lol) and how can top-ranked teams be held more accountable for equity practices to create space for top-level black and brown athletes on top-level teams?
July 2, 2020 | It seems (to me, at least) like a glaring problem or several problems that leagues from cities with majority BIPOC populations do not have that diversity reflected in their skater populations. Why aren’t we addressing that?
July 2, 2020 | Should majority-white leagues create diversity committees if they will be composed of white people?
July 2, 2020 | Any tips on how our league can center BIPOC voices in our conversations about race and inclusion, without putting more pressure and asking for more emotional labor from these folks?

We want to be mindful of everyone’s capabilities right now but we also know this work is vital. Where can we start?
July 2, 2020 | Is there a way for leagues to share case studies around how they have successfully tackled poor representation in their league and addressed barriers? Would be useful to see what is most effective.
