“Tena, How can I put into words how thankful I am for you? Thank you for the great times on the balcony…

I enjoyed watching you do your daily thang – truly inspirational.  The way you show your love to your girls and your grandson is simply beautiful. 

You know how to communicate on many levels. Sometimes with words, sometimes emotions, sometimes gifts, sometimes silence. You know what others need and you know how to give just that.  You are my purple person!”

READ Tena's STORY

From Tena: Why is your story important to share?

I think my story is important to share because of the commonalities in experiences we all share, particularly women of color; glimpses into the life of a black leader in the federal government that reveal the challenges minorities face even today; exposure to the very tough, unfriendly culture of NSA; talks about real diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and Belonging, which every employee wants and deserves. And I hope to encourage other woman to write their stories too.
