This was a really valuable course. 

I sadly saw myself in some of the characters. 

I really find the navigation of this course frustrating. 

I would like to finish it. 

I am 90 minutes into it and cannot seem to get out of it. 

Perhaps some clearer instructions on navigation and some attention to how long it actually takes to go through it would make it less frustratong for others..

The video rang true - I have seen racism in our institution, although I didn't know about the ER video.  Women of color have lower breastfeeding rates and higher c-section rates than white women here.

This training was very well done. It was very engaging. I wasn't bored. I didn't have the urge to click through or let it play without paying attention.

I took/viewed the content at work and I feel that it allowed my unit to not only see my reactions, but also comment on their own reactions to the content and experiences we have all had in healthcare. Being one of only a handful of people of color on our unit, I feel lucky that I have never experienced anything that these individuals have gone through. However, the experiences my co-workers have gone through, different races/genders/jobs have placed others in placed them in unique positions where lack of perceived power forced them to have uncomfortable experiences themselves. Being able to learn from each other is just as valuable as learning from the content given.

I thought that it was interesting that the book the manager read was White Fragility which is written by a White author vs a Black author.

These sort of scenarios do occur all too often. Communication is important and vital to ensure a harmonious work environment. But it is important to have the right type of communication as well, without offending the other party.

These videos were very triggering as I've either witnessed or been a part of different scenarios very similar to some of the examples. I feel that if we could just see people as individuals and get past their race or ethnicity and gender, the world would be a better place. There's a lot of work that we need to do as a society but I do feel that this organization does a wonderful job of being inclusive.

It was helpful to explore the different choices given in the scenarios to better understand how those choices affect others.
