I appreciated the ways in
I appreciated the ways in which microaggressions were highlighted and directly addressed, as well as the featured content on institutional challenges with utilizing Spanish-speaking providers as translators. I found myself wondering how realistic it would be for employees who have been confronted to respond with the same level of thoughtfulness that the actors portrayed. It might be useful to have more in-person training within programs on how to best address and respond to microaggressions when they occur. These kinds of conversations need to happen within close working relationships, and there can be a lot of value in real-life practice with this.

Easy to start a new culture than continue with a failed one
I agree that change must start with me and this should cascade to everyone that I interact with and that other employees must feel free to confide in me

I found it very difficult to watch these videos. Although it is acting and it is purposely providing micro-aggressions, being educated, I found that these micro-aggressions were not at all, "micro." I will never be able to understand my peers experiences thoroughly as I am a white woman, but it is because of these interactive videos that I can be aware of the things that people say around me or anything I may subconsciously say, may have a huge impact on my neighbor. Overall, I found the videos very engaging and well done.

Very Relevant to MGB
I am very glad to see this type of anti-racism training geared to a hospital setting. Many of the scenarios are unfortunately similar to situations I have seen or heard of in the Boston hospital community.

Hope for the institution
I really enjoyed how interactive the video was. I hope that MGB will truly continue the dedication to ending racism within its institution and that it will not just end here with a required course that all employees need to take. There is so much more work to be done!

Importance of listening
Agree that listening is an important first step to improving awareness and the culture.
But I also think the time compressed nature of the way clinical medicine is currently practiced limits opportunities for that kind of listening or open conversation.
