DEI is Personal: My Story of Family, Kenya, and a CareerCenterfor HCI
Many people tell me that DEI conversations are daunting. I get it; it’s hard to look at our own bias and have these conversations. Yet, I’ve been doing it my whole life, personally and professionally. And my life is richer because of it.
Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence.

A visionary is a leader of excellence who sees what others do not see, who achieves for now and plans for the future, who positively impacts different generations and raises up other visionaries. - Onyi Anyado

Raphael Papa left his family and everything he ever knew at age 13, and came to this country
through Ellis Island from Italy. His family of 9 boys, including my father, and one girl, are noted
in the United States Congressional record for having the most participants in World War II in
harms way for many other family. Although my family was not able to leave us wealth they did
leave us a solid work ethic. I say proudly that I have passed our "8 to faint" work schedule on to
my son Christopher A Papa, Jessica M. Papa, and Annie Marie Papa.
