Systemic racism is nothing new in America, and the effects of unconscious racial bias have long created inequity in the workplace.

It’s embedded below on the blog but if you are reading this on email, click here and watch it.

The ten commandments said what not to do. Most of being a good person is not doing bad. Don’t be cruel or selfish. Don’t lie or steal. Just do no harm. People always think they need to do something. One action creates a problem, fixed by another action, so they react and counter-act, creating more problems to fix. All of this can be avoided. All actions are optional.
