It is important to have awareness of the inequities around us. In adopting ignorance, we feed into systematic racism rather than encouraging ourselves and others to address the issue.

It is important to have awareness of the injustices taking place around us on a daily basis. Ignorance enables systematic racism to continue while adopting awareness encourages us to address the issue.

It Takes Courage
It's so easy to denounce racism, but this activity helped to remind me of how much courage it takes to stand up and fight against oppression and the consequences of standing up for yourself or someone else. It also takes a lot to reflect on and acknoledge the things that you have done wrong and navigate through the shame of being part of the problem. I think this course did a great job at reminding us that being complicit is not a painless choice either. Well done MGB!

It Takes Courage
This course did a great job at helping me to reflect on how much courage it takes to stand up for yourself and someone else. Every choice has consequences, including the choice to stay silent. This course was also a great reminder that it is everyone's responsibility to dismantle racism.

Great perspective
I found it valuable that several situations were presented from several points of view. It can be easy to assume that these types of situations don't happen in real life, but I though that, for the most part, they were presented in a plausible way. They are a good reminder to reflect on your own actions, implicit biases, and the way our words and actions can be perceived by others.

Engaging content for realistic perspectives of POC.
This is by far the most relatable and entertaining DEI module I've completed. Compared to outdated powerpoint slides that are widespread across most institutions, the choose-your-own-adventure media is much more engaging and useful.

Great Stuff
Each scenario combined felt like a very all-encompassing review/lesson on how racism in all forms and regardless of intention effects all of us each day!

I like how change and honesty was displayed
I like that they showed what people wanted to say and what the reaction the person with the racist comment thought they would get vs how people actually responded. I like that they showed that no one wants to admit they were behaving poorly, but changing behavior is less embarrassing than continuing to present ignorance.
