I agree, the scenarios were very well done but I do believe we have to be better about speaking up when these scenarios do happen.

The scenarios were professionally produced, believable, and effective. They represented actual incidents of racist behavior in the MGH system.

I think it is everyone's responsibility to speak up about these situations. Managers should be an ally, but HR and other employees should also be reliable to help when these situations arise.

Guide others through behavior rather than words. Inspire others to copy your behavior. Erase racism!

One of the most awkward but effective ways to end racism.

Continue to highlight and call out microaggressions.

Ending racism requires managers to lead by example. The purpose of leadership is to be the change you want to see in your organization.
