  • Episode 8: Oh no. Am I a racist?

    No matter if you are Black, White, gay, straight, rich, poor, Republican, Democrat, tall, short, old or young we have implicit biases.

They are pervasive because we often do not know that they reside within us.

    Kaitlin and Jordan dive deep on what implicit bias is, why do we have them, and how do we acknowledge and avoid acting on them.
