Join us for the first of our conversations about racism. We will use a Ted Talk as a way to start. We will meet on Zoom to watch the talk and talk about your feelings and experiences. We want this to be a safe place to open up without judgement.

This week's Ted Talk is on overcoming biases:

Verna Myers: How to overcome our biases? Walk boldly toward them

Our biases can be dangerous, even deadly as we have seen recently. Diveristy advocate Verna Myers looks closely at some of the subconscious attitudes we hold toward out-groups. She makes a plea to all people: Acknowledge your biases. Then move toward, not away, from them.
