The different modules showcase racism in different careers. The experience of each character felt true in today's society. The question still remains how to address these issues when you do not have the support of those around you. Though the modules showed the support from peers this is the exception and not based in true reality given lived and witnessed experiences.

I appreciated the creative approach to exploring a serious topic, specifically the day dream sequences that explored the employee's inner state and reactions in a relatable way.

good introduction to microaggressions in the workplace

I was very engaged with the training. I thought the scenarios were realistic and concrete, and instead of inspiring fear of doing the wrong thing, I feel like I have a better idea of some examples of how to address this. Only mildly corny.

I think we all need to show up, pay attention, and speak up compassionately to support the contribution of ALL of our colleagues.

Awesome idea to "play" through each role and understand how racism effects everyone differently.

I appreciated the different scenarios presented. Some resonated including the idea of hiring people who have insider connections.

I thought the content was relevant and the recognition that it takes courage to speak up but without it the racism goes unrecognized in the organization. 

Christina Iacobo replied on

I think demonstrating what it feels like to walk in someone else's shoes was very revealing.
