I agree that this was much needed. It highlighted many experiences of racisms and different perspectives that we need to be mindful of. Also, speaking up when/where it counts the most.

This curriculum showed that we must speak up for our colleagues, because often times there are stipulations or blatant/underlying racism/reasons why they cannot speak up for themselves. If we notice something, we should process the situation and think of how we can assist them. Speak with our colleagues to understand their perspectives and providing support. Even if they do not look like us. If everyone did this, this would be a great start at tearing down institutional racism.

I thought presenting different perspectives was very helpful in understanding how to come up with a solution.

The videos pertaining to Carolina's experiences reminded me of some of the experiences my father faced when he first moved to America and as a result, I felt at peace towards the end knowing that this training covers many microaggressions immigrants face.

I really appreciated the nuances of this course and the interactive features. This challenged me in a positive way to continue to improve at being present with and addressing microaggressions and other forms of violence when they come up at work, even when its stressful or painful.

I enjoyed this course and learnt more about micro-agressions that are underpinnings of racism that I took for granted previously.
