The content was thought provoking. I work with many different cultures and try very hard to recognize that being white is a privilege. I try to recognize the difficulties that other cultures have in the workplace. I think that speaking openly and standing up for what is right is a start.

I appreciated the scenario's portrayed throughout the course. Particularly, the micro-aggressions as those are more common in the day to day work. They validated the frustration and provided helpful tips to combat the day to day micro-aggressions.
