I have lived in Tiburon for 28 years. I have a number of friends who are people of color. I am the
person who, when I joined the first Zoom meeting on the incident with Yema and the police,
expressed my concern about being able to host those friends safely in Tiburon. I have seen
many traffic stops wherein police were pulling over people of color - and sometimes I have
stopped my own vehicle to walk over and check on the situation. When anticipating hosting
friends of color at my home place, I have been anxious - thinking that maybe I should meet
those friends at highway 101 and escort them to my place, and then perhaps escort them back
to the 1�1 so that the drivers might be ass�red safet;�. ! want to fee! safe �nd ! want a!! others to
feel safe living, working, playing, and visiting in Tiburon. And I am aware, as most of us are
aware, that not only Tiburon, but the nation has some very serious issues to consider, with and
about the police. Just recently, the FBI came out with a report (Christopher Wray) stating that
there is an uncomfortable connection betvveen police_and_right wing supremacist groups_in the
United Siates. Those right wing groups are armed, they are vioient to people of color and to
those with whom fhey disagree politicaily, and they are also religious bigots ("Jews will not
replace us"). Above all, I am a democrat, with a small d, as in a person who favors and deeply
believes in justice for all, and in the creative process of democracy. And lastly, but surely not
least, I was deepiy saddened and offended at the aggressive treatment of Yema and Hawi -
two loving and creative people who honor Tiburon with their presence and their business.

Diversity issues figure front and center in my work. As a media producer, I have chosen to
create a radio series titled Women Rising Radio, profiling women worldwide in leadership for
all the critical issues of today, including women's rights, diversity rights, voting rights, civil rights,
etc. etc. In each program care is taken to profile women of divergent races, religions, ethnic
backgrounds, and work perspectives. In a previous project, titled "EcoRap: Voices from the
'Hood" I chronicled a grassroots program featuring young rap artists of color learning about
the ecological dangers and problems in their own communities... and then creating rap music
to highlight those issues. On a more personal level, I have always been friends and family with
people of all races, religions, ethnic backgrounds and perspectives. Again on a professional
level, I created and executive directed The Hebron CommUnity Project, which brought together
Israelis and Palestinians in the EI Khalil/Hebron area to learn nonviolent communication and
other peace building techniques - in an effort to defuse the tensions in a major flashpoint area
between Israel and Palestine.

Tiburon is a I�v�ly place to live and i �eel fflr�t�nate to c�l! it my home. However, there is a lack of
diversity in our comrnunity ane� in ��r'tr� in gen�ral. While there are very few residents in
Tiburor�/Belvedere that cc�uld be considered "penple of calor", we should strive to insure that our
neighbc�rs and visitors tc� c�ur communify, are vuelcc�med with opert arms.
PersQnally, I have vvifnessed ioo m�ny times, ��c�ple �f color while driving lat�; madel c�rs,
being pulled over by our pc�lice. This became a hofi topic an our local Nex#Door after the incident
at Yema's bc�utique. t�kl�er residsnts �c�iced th�ir cor�c�rns regarding what appears tc� be °'ethnic
profiling„ at the hands of our police officers.
I fully sup�o�t c�ur 1d�:�1 ��lice, b�,t there is �I�v�ys raom fi�r �ositiv� change. It�,�oul� n�t need #o
be a huge undertaking ta improve the °'policing culture" of our officers. A little diversi#y training
would go a It�ng way and 1 am ready ta be an active participant,

I have lived in Tiburon with my husband Ralph Davis since 1994. I would be honored to serve
as a community member of the Diversity Inclusion Task Force. As detailed below, I have worked
to advance diversity and inclusion during my professional career and now in retirement as a
community volunteer on nonprofit boards.
The incident that occurred at Yema on August 21 stood out to me in stark relief against the
backdrop of current racial tensions throughout America. During the subsequent Community
Forum, I heard a diverse range of opinions from our comm�anity members regarding the n�ture
and severity of that incident. i am encouraged by the actions that have been taken to conduct
independent investigations and to establish the Diversity Inclusion Task Force. I would like to be
part of a transparent, action-oriented process to create and implement Town policies regarding
diversity and inclusion and condemning racism, bias, and preju�ice.
1 will bring a passion for the issues, leadership and governance experience in both corporate and
nonprofit sectors (including Brown Act compliance), and a commitment to continuous learning to
inform the work.

My years af experience vvorking within multicuitural and mui�iracia( populations have given me a
strong desire to contribute to the community's understanding of how the complex weaving
together our diversities - raciai, cuitural, religious, gender or econamic - can result in a truly
jusi 5i��i�iy. By �ir�acierjing inis understanding, signifiicani s�eps can i�e �ak�n to rewrite the
societal rules that have enabled discrimination for so long. I would like ta serve on the task
fiorce to help bring about change that leads to a mare inclusive cammunity.
Prior to my career as a psychologist, I served as a social warker in the underclass of black
NewarR, New Jersey, ar� with th� Latirio comrnunity in Sdn Jose. Tries� years aiong with
my prafessional backgraund as a clinical psychologist have given be a broad understanding of
human behavior. Each client has taught me the impartar�ce of under�tanding how an
individuai' s experiences shapes that person's behavior and world-view. As a task force
mem►�er, ! ����alc fike to bring this 4cnowledge tc be�.r on tl�e i�sues cQnfronting th� c�mmunity.

I have a broad understanding of different cultures. 1 have studied in Italy and vvorked in France.
I have spent twQ years also working at a community level in Sc�malia and Nigeria as a Peace
Carps volunteer. In Nigeria l estab(ished a Mofherless Baby Home which continues today to
serve the populatian. Eleven years ago i sought a praject in Africa. While traveling in a
remote area in Tanzania a Maasai midwife pleaded #or my help to estabfish a clinic as no
medical care was available. I was not only able to buiid a Health Center rneeting the medica(
needs of over 4,000 peopie, but also built a primary school system. Tc� �nhance the project, I
brought in water; electricity, and solar power. Today the Olmoti community is self-sustainabie.
Without learning the thinking, the customs, values, and world view ofi these different cultures, 0
would noi have succeeded. It is this acquired knowledge that I would like to share.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core to my personal and professional values. After learning of the interaction
that happened at Yema and watching the video-recording of the interaction, my family participated in the town
hall that was held. I appreciated the openness and humility that many community members brought to this
discussion. At the same time, it was clear that our community has some work to do. The Tiburon community
may not be fully aware of the ways in which they hold privilege. This privilege impacts the extent to which our
community has had to grapple with racial equity issues on a personal level, leading to difficulty with valuing a
diversity of perspectives and less awareness of how systemic racism has impacted the lived experiences of
different community members. At a time of racial reckoning and increased awareness about racism in our
country, I appreciate Tiburon's proactive stance to combat racism. We have all made mistakes in acting c�n
biases, often without intending to do so. identifying and repairing ruptures to move forward productively will
require greater collective awareness of these issues and cultural humility. While police behavior is just one issue
that impacts equity and inclusion in our community, it does provide a clear example of how concrete steps can

forward with the goal of increasing community awareness of issues related to equity�nd inclusion, id2ntifying
policies and practices that might not promote these values, and generally advising the Council on broader
issues to help build a more inclusive environment in Tiburon-Belvedere. As a bicultural community member, i
also hope to leverage my personal experience navigating different cultural frameworks in order to
communicate effectively with people from all different bacl<grounds.

I am Assistant Professor at UCSF in the Department of Psychiatry and Behaviora)Sciences and Clinical Director
of the UCSF Eating Disorders Program. My clinical training in cultural competence, cultural sensitivity, and
cultural humility has provided me with a strong foundation of the types of issues that can often be overlooked
in developing and sustaining an inclusive environment. As a clinical psychologist, I also have extensive
background and training on health disparities, implicit bias, and microaggressions. I also engage in regular DEI
trainings to improve my self-awareness of implicit bias, identifying and managing microaggressions, and
fostering a culture of inciusion for our patient population,faculty, staff, and trainees. Professionally, my
research seeks to improve publicly-funded treatment for underserved minority youth with eating disorders,
including Spanish-speal<ing Latino youth who are particularly impacted by eating disorders in California. I have
also served on my department's Diversity Committee for the past five years, where I help to develop strategies
and implement solutions improve recruiting practices and ensure that diverse candidates are actively sought
out and bias is minimized in hiring practices. Outside of UCSF, I have served on the Dartmouth Alumni Council
as a representative for the Dartmouth Alumni Latino Association (2016-2020), whicn promotes the recruitment
of Latino students to Dartmouth College and a culture of inclusion for all students on campus. As a member of
the Council, I served as a liaison between students/alumni and the Board of Trustees at Dartmouth College.
