I found it very difficult to watch these videos. Although it is acting and it is purposely providing micro-aggressions, being educated, I found that these micro-aggressions were not at all, "micro." I will never be able to understand my peers experiences thoroughly as I am a white woman, but it is because of these interactive videos that I can be aware of the things that people say around me or anything I may subconsciously say, may have a huge impact on my neighbor. Overall, I found the videos very engaging and well done.

I am very glad to see this type of anti-racism training geared to a hospital setting.  Many of the scenarios are unfortunately similar to situations I have seen or heard of in the Boston hospital community.

I really enjoyed how interactive the video was. I hope that MGB will truly continue the dedication to ending racism within its institution and that it will not just end here with a required course that all employees need to take. There is so much more work to be done!

Agree that listening is an important first step to improving awareness and the culture.

But I also think the time compressed nature of the way clinical medicine is currently practiced limits opportunities for that kind of listening or open conversation.

This was a very well created series. It highlighted how many innate biases we may have and not realize.
