I appreciated the metaphors relating to the gardening in terms of the red and pink flowers; a powerful illustration for systemic racism.

I thin being an bystander/upstander is one of the most important ways to defend our colleagues.

Having the ability to watch four scenarios added a more in-depth understanding. I like how we were able to make our own decisions and see how the scenarios played out based on our choices.

I think the hospital should have small group discussions periodically with different cultures/races and discuss experiences. The videos were good but I think having people actually discuss their own experiences may be beneficial.

The Maya Angelou quote in the last scenario was powerful: Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better.
