KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Nice racism - don’t talk about things that are not nice. But being nice isn’t a way to end racism. If you don’t understand racism, nothing is fixed.
• We need to understand what racism means, it’s not just "I don’t like somebody because of their skin color", it’s a system of inequity.
• Start now! It doesn’t matter who is in office, DEI is always going to be needed.
• Anti-DEI folks are committed and have shown it by repealing affirmative action. Don’t let who’s in office determine if you do the work or not.
• I believe it is going to take another moment that shocks people to get people back on track.
