― Nelson Mandella

REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Each individual can take actions and make changes. Who else is going to challenge that family relative with racist ideas who uses stereotypical language, if not you? What action could you commit to doing on a daily basis? This week? When we work together we can make larger changes in the system. What action could you commit to with your colleagues, friends, or family?
After today's challenge work:
Did you have any ‘a-ha’ moment?
Did you feel any discomfort?
What will you do differently based on your challenge today?
