Ending Racism Starts Within!

In recent months especially, acts of police brutality, voter suppression, and backlash against kneeling in sports have highlighted the racism that continues to exist in not only the U.S. but all over the world. Black Lives Matter! People are outraged and voicing their concerns through (mostly) peaceful protests. Usually the noise dies down until the next story in the headlines but how do we keep the momentum going? Tackling racism is not just a black and white issue but a movement towards a more just and humane society for all. Ready, Steady, Go!

Let’s start the conversation with ourselves. This week we encourage you to take an implicit bias test created by an international collaborative that focuses on diversity training. Then self-examine how you can change to decrease your own biases.

    I took the test. It was easy, fun, and interesting. I’m curious to find out from the investigators the results of the study. I’m curious to hear about the experience of others who have taken the test.
