very well constructed course. Coming from New Hampshire, which historically has not been a racially diverse area, it gave me a lot to consider

Well Formated
I felt that this course was well formatted to scenarios that very well occur in the workplace, as well as engaging ways to attack these issues professionally to improve the diversity and comfortability of all employees with a sense of equality.

Scenarios were helpful
This was one of the best courses on ending racism I've taken. The scenarios were, sadly, realistic, but made me think.

Agree
I think that implicit racism exists within our community both at large (the country) and smaller scales, such as Boston, and more specifically, the hospital. As a white person, we have obligations to stand up when we see the subtle acts of racism, such as the instances in the videos, as well as do personal work, reflections, and research to better understand how we have been raised into a country built upon racism. We owe this to our peers who may not look like us, but do the same work we do everyday.

Incredibly powerful and
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.

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 at work
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.
