In honor of Black History Month, CIA.gov asked current African American officers of different ages and backgrounds, with varying years of service and a variety of positions, to discuss why they chose a career at CIA and the legacy they hope to leave behind. These officers’ Agency experiences span the spectrum from analyst to engineer to graphic artist to operations officer with careers running in length from three to 17 years. Their reflections are highlighted and paraphrased below. Some of the names have been changed to protect their identities.
On Joining CIA:
I never imagined myself at the Agency, but when the opportunity presented itself, it seemed like the perfect chance to become a part of something bigger than myself. The Agency has a global reach, and the thought of having a chance to contribute to that mission motivated me to join the CIA. – Kayla, Directorate of Analysis
