Incredibly powerful and thought-provoking. It's clear that racism is still a major issue in our society and it's important that we all do our part to dismantle it. The stories shared by the speakers really drove home the impact that racism has on individuals and communities, and I'm committed to taking action and being an ally in the fight for justice and equality.

Scenarios are all realistic ones or real stories.  These are deep routed problems but we can address all of these with collective effort.

I agree. I found the content thought-provoking and very well put together.  The exercise certainly left me thinking about what I can do (and what I may have not done in the past) on a daily basis to be a part of ending racism.

Maya Angelou's quote, "Do the best you can until you know better. When you know better, do better" summed this course up for me. I now know I can do better.

Racism is a behavior that we might encounter daily at work. Communication and education are the best ways to eliminate racism at work.

After viewing the scenarios from this educational activities, I will pay more attention to the feelings of my coworkers with different ethnicities.  It is goos to know that MGB has an excellent resources and supports to prevent racism at work for us.

I think it is very sad and disappointing that racism still exists in workplaces where everyone is trying to work towards the same goal, providing great care to patients. the interventions taken in each scenario are helpful tips in ways to properly handle workplace racism.
