Really helpful.  Need more of this.  Recognize my own internalized racism and how it benefits me and my own fear about speaking up to change things.  I appreciated the admonition to: ddo your own work" around racism. Much needed.

This was a well meaning course that I hope will be just one part of a broad effort to change systemic issue at MGB

In order to develop improved tolerance and understanding of each others culture the most important thing to do is to spend time outside of the workplace and team building activities.  We should find ways and opportunities to incorporate this at regular intervals to develop deeper understanding of differences of culture and environment in which we grow.

I enjoyed that the flow of the material was such that if you made a choice that wasn't the best choice for that scenario you got to see not only how your response played out but how the appropriate response also played out.
