 ## Initiative and Scrappiness
 
-- We want people on the team who  demonstrate resourcefulness, problem-solving skills, and the ability to thrive in a bootstrapped, open-source environment. (this isn’t a mandated “do more with less!” statement, more- we appreciate those who _get_ where we’re coming from.

+### Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
