      Welcome to Day 9 of our diversity feature here on Welcome to Day 9 of our diversity feature here on tjTODAY. In response to the admittance of only three Black students to TJ’s class of 2024, Didi Elsyad addresses a letter to those three freshmen about her experience being Black at TJ. Describing how she felt both out of place and that she belonged at TJ, she encourages these students to be proud of who they are and to make the most of their TJ experience. “To some, diversity is a tool to avoid criticism. To others, diversity means stealing spots from ‘more qualified’ racial groups. But to me, diversity means feeling like I belong. To me, diversity is worth fighting for.” Read Didi’s heartfelt letter here at: https://www.tjtoday.org/29168/showcase/a-letter-to-three/ Thank you all for being a part of our daily diversity feature, and an especially big thank you to everyone who shared their stories and contributed to these posts. We hope you enjoyed reading the articles, and that they helped educate people on and spread awareness of diversity at Jefferson and in our community. Stay safe everyone!
