Having the ability to view how bias, prejudice, and racism can affect various individuals in different professions throughout the hospital was important to show. The only thing I wish the training touched upon further was less obvious forms of prejudice and racism that can plague a work environment. I think they tried with the social media scene, the scene with the two female employees after the male employee made the joke, and the scene where the employee interpreted that she should act more white. However, many times bias and racism can be less obvious and I think more scenes like those may help enlighten people about acts that are more unconscious.

Usually with training we only see one side. I liked how we saw things from different perspectives and saw that it took sacrifices to make changes.
