If we are truly interested and invested in advancing and operationalizing equity into our work, we need to seriously consider making different choices. This is an opportunity to walk the talk of equity - to put our time, money, and resources where our proverbial mouths are - to go from preformative words about the importance of equity to making the difficult decisions and taking the time and resources needed to actually practice and operationalize equity. :::
