I am a social worker. I've always prided myself on being aware of social justice issues and what our country faces today in the way of discrimination. I work directly with marginalized groups of people to overcome structural barriers in the system. And yet...I am so ashamed that so much of what was talked about in these videos I had never heard about before. I think this training helps to show that you never stop learning, no matter what your background is or how long you might have been participating in social justice work. There is always new information to uncover. In fact, the more I learn, the more I realize how much I still don't know. I appreciate the time it took to put these videos together by these individual companies to include so many documenting facts, because the truth is indisputable despite people's ignorance to racism. This training so far has shown me even more ways that I need to be anti-racist.
