More Glass Ceilings Shattering

Last week I discussed some of the Glass Ceilings that Biden was helping to shatter. Here is another round of broken glass making the ground sparkle like newly fallen snow. 

Cecilia Rouse was nominated as chair of the Council of Economic Advisers. If confirmed, she'll be the first Black woman, and just the fourth woman overall, to lead the CEA since it was established nearly 75 years ago.

Neera Tanden was nominated as director of the Office of Management and Budget, and would become the first woman of color and the first South Asian American to oversee the agency if she is confirmed.

President-elect Joe Biden named an all-female White House communications team, which is the first time this has happened.

First Black deputy secretary of the Treasury: Adewale "Wally" Adeyemo

First Hispanic American White House social secretary: Carlos Elizondo

I am impressed by the number of glass ceilings which are already being broken by Biden and his Administration.  The more people who are in the room where it happens or have a seat at the table the more robust and just policies become. There are clearly going to be people with life experiences and cultural experiences that have not had the opportunity or chance to be in these rooms before.
