Verna Meyers - Diversity Slides

Big Ideas: Verna Meyers
Author of Moving Diversity Forward: How to move from well meaning to well doing
Author of What if I say the wrong thing? 25 habits for culturally effective people 

The message I took away was recognize the impact and importance of culture and diversity and be a part of the change. Have empathy and seek opportunities to be the change - "look for the opportunity to be uncomfortable." 



Verna mentioned if you're willing to put yourself to the test, you can test your biases at www.implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/demo
