what inspired me to be a firefighter was in 2008 i graduated college . the recession had happened so there weren't any jobs. i was having troublefinding a job. and i was kind of looking around . my dad was a firefighter and i thought what a great career he had. so i asked my dad, never thinking about it at first before. i said dad, what you think about me being afirefighter and he goes yeah, thatwould be a good idea . i took some classes, i ended up loving it . i grew up and actually and i think it was a good fit for me because it's a physical job and it's enjoyable. you never know whatyou're going to get and it's a team effort . i first realized i was part of the lgbt+ community in sixth grade. i looked on the other side of the classroom and i sawthis girl i thought was really attractive and i thought i want to be her boyfriend . though my experiences in the

city growing up in the city and countyof san francisco were always verypositive . i came out in high school . i actually ended up being prom king my senior year in high school and a lot of peoplewere very supportive . myparents were very supportive . they just let me do my thing and my dad knew of a lot of lesbian women in the fire departmentthe time because he was a san francisco firefighter . for me it's very important to be part of a community and organization and an agency that supports my lgbtq status because if you're not yourself, how can you perform to the best of your abilities? you're always holding back in some way whether it's your personality or your abilities or your overall skills and with agency that supports me being a lesbian i can truly be myself.

i can be happy. i can be social with other people. it makes me want to work as a team and we all work better together when we are happier and we can be ourselves. >>. [music] >>

. >> my name is ana renzi. i'm a fire investigator for the city and county of san francisco. the job of a fire investigator is to go after the fire has been put out and to determine the origin and the cause of the fire. so we are the people who after the firefighters have come in and done their magnificent work to extinguish the fire, we go through the fire scene and we are able to find how the fire started. just showing up, being who you are can mean a world of difference to someone. when someone sees you as an identifiably queer person, an identifiable female presenting

person or a person of color walk into their home, they can feel more comfortable and more trusting just knowing that you are around and that you may have some insight into their situation and to their community needs that others may not have. the san francisco fire department i'm proud to say goes out of its way to recruit women, minorities, and to the lgbtq+ community, we are awaiting you and wanting you to come join us as a san francisco fire department. no one is going to represent us like you are going to represent us. no one is going to care for our communities and for our departments like you are going to come and represent our communities and our departments. i am a proud black queer member of the san francisco fire department and i'm especially proud to be part of an

organization that respects and values our diverse communities in san francisco. [♪♪]

here when i was 7 the house boat upon community abandoned train yards with jack rabbits and a group partnered with all city friends, some are in this room, to envisionmation bay and sat at tables with building blocks about what ideas the whole community would have. and what it needed to be an addition to the city. you know when i was a little girl, the mission rock would rent row boats row from mission rock to the ferry building and fishermachine's wharf, tic toc was down the way. everybody friday night you see along this strip, city workers gathering with their friends drinking beer and fishing along this water front. this area's had a history of people gathering and having a good time.

i think for the people in the community when we saw this all this mission bay come in fruition, we were not sure like how it was going to affect us. and when chachs center moved in and the ballpark moved in, it welcomed people to this neighborhood. and i think that the challenge now is that san francisco come down here and take the bayfront park and make it a san francisco park and recreate the tradition this is we had in the past. it has been a pleasure to be here and i wanted acknowledge that we stands on the shoulder of great people and acknowledge woods from the mission creek harbor who yea, there is not a city family that she did not touch. and i wanted to acknowledge her today because she would be proud of this. >> also you may want to explain what you mean by tic toc not. >> okay. so -- tic toc burger was on the
