Unbelievable But Reality
When taking this course, I was not aware of the scenarios I was going to be presented. I have taken this course before; however, the scenarios were not as relatable and unsettling. I appreciate the diversity within the scenarios as I was able to understand each side more, especially co-workers mistaking a black woman expressing her concerns and standing up for herself as an "angry black woman". Sadly, this was the reality of what people go through within the healthcare system. There are many micro-aggressions and those who are not aware of how they present themselves or how their words affect others. At moments, I do worry that addressing racism, micro-aggressions, diversity, etc will be taken the wrong way by certain people (but I still find it necessary). This course was not so that everyone at every moment needs to think about someone's skin color and "stand up" for the experiences/situations others face. This course was for awareness, educating oneself, and adding a sense of empathy and openness. I have witness people taking topics such as this one too far and making matters even more uncomfortable and offensive. The intention was there, but the execution was poor. In order to reduce those moments, I hope others take this course seriously and apply when needed or when necessary. Do not focus all of your interactions based on what you've learned. You can use it as an open discussion while being respectful, if you have other questions or apply this to situations that occur around you. I do agree that these courses should be annual. Re-educating staff about these types of situations are vital to creating a comfortable and welcoming community on an institutional level which is reflected onto our patients.
I will definitely answer any comments I receive and would love to have a conversation with anyone about this course. I also offer a listening ear for anyone who needs it! :)

Courage Culture
everyone at every level of an institution must support courage culture and BIPOC are often not afforded this opportunity, often due to fear.

The various scenarios showing perspectives from individuals with different experiences makes one realize the importance of continuing to engage, truly listen, learn from, and be respectful of each other to make the work environment more inclusive, fair and equitable for every person.

AN INFORMATIVE MOVIE
It was like a movie of what would happen if certain things were done. it's like having multiple chances to one event in your life, and you can have different approaches to help you react better
