These videos were very triggering as I've either witnessed or been a part of different scenarios very similar to some of the examples. I feel that if we could just see people as individuals and get past their race or ethnicity and gender, the world would be a better place. There's a lot of work that we need to do as a society but I do feel that this organization does a wonderful job of being inclusive.

It was helpful to explore the different choices given in the scenarios to better understand how those choices affect others.

These educational videos were well designed to help the viewer gain the potential perspectives of multiple members of the healthcare team. I appreciate the interactive features and the ability to observe how varying responses to difficult situations might play out and affect the team dynamic. This teaching has increased my awareness of how my own communication and behaviors may affect others. I feel inspired to do more to be an ally for promoting diversity & inclusion and ending racism.

This course was very well done in terms of content and presentation, with the exception of technical issues watching it on an iOS device. I had to try a second device in order to be able to view the entire screen.

Ending of racism is so important an aspect of changing the believe that somehow we humans are separated from each other based on superficial differences. A real galvanizing solution to the suffering we have in our lives right now is to reconnect to the ONE human essence that needs, loves, suffers and hope for the same.

The subtle and overt examples of racism and basic disregard of one another's humanness was so disturbing and brought tears to me eyes throughout.

Well described how managing one's own emotions and assumptions before reacting is most helpful.
