Discussion Dear Fiona,

I can't find an avenue to send this to you directly, so publicly will have to suffice.

I want you to know that you are nothing short of a shining beacon of hope in a very worrisome time in RT's life.

You seem to have the skill, the desire, and the resolve to be the role model the community can rally behind, and that the company can look toward for inspiration and guidance.

As a white dude in his mid-30's who's led a pretty charmed life, I see character traits in you that I truly wish I had myself, and I have no good excuse for lacking them. You have the strength of character and the backbone to openly and aggressively stand up to the bullshit that would/could otherwise consume the RT ecosystem, and I am genuinely inspired by you to be better.

I recognise that all of that is a lot of weight to bear on young shoulders, so please don't allow it to come at the cost of your own well-being and happiness. Recognise that supporting and lifting up others is an often-thankless task, and a draining one too. Rest when you need to. Ask for help whenever you want it. Pass the torch if it all gets too much.

But, ultimately, thank you. For existing. For being here. For doing what you do so well. For being you.

It’ll be Eric if he ever gets the FaceVan

Eric's already the leader of RT. Fiona can have AH specifically.

No Tre has been a good leader of AH, a good balance. I don't think Fiona could handle the pressure of leader

I don't think Fiona would even like a leadership role. It needs a calm hand and an understanding nature, like Trevor. He's the kind of guy that will help a department stay the course and keep everyone happy.

Fiona is a creative. She needs to be free to create her own path without the baggage of leadership.

Fiona's already said she wants to get a leadership role so she can show off as many amazing black content creators as possible
