She was in a position of privilege to hire people. Did she hire any black women or men to help with the lack of diversity she refers to?

That's mostly true, and I'm not aware of which specific hiring efforts she was involved with...

The VP that fired her/"accepted resignation" wrote to her reports about it:

It's frustrating to realize, but unsurprising: the people higher up in the hierarchy will always have more power than those below.

I actually find it quite unethical and potentially rather manipulative to share with your future employees that you fought tooth and nail for them. Essentially implying that they wouldn't be there if it weren't for you and immediately setting it up so that they feel indebted to you... it's chilling to see that tweet tbh
