I appreciate how realistic the scenarios were in the videos. The characters felt like real people in the workplace and I also appreciated how they represented a range of professions, positions and cultures. Thank you for putting this together so thoughtfully.

I appreciated the ways in which microaggressions were highlighted and directly addressed, as well as the featured content on institutional challenges with utilizing Spanish-speaking providers as translators. I found myself wondering how realistic it would be for employees who have been confronted to respond with the same level of thoughtfulness that the actors portrayed. It might be useful to have more in-person training within programs on how to best address and respond to microaggressions when they occur. These kinds of conversations need to happen within close working relationships, and there can be a lot of value in real-life practice with this.
