Today in a letter to dept faculty, I shared a letter from our trainees and research staff with a call to action on racial inequality. As a starting point and for accountability, I will share part of my own personal journey here - 21-day Racial Equity Habit Building Challenge
Inspired by https://www.eddiemoorejr.com/21daychallenge , #21dayracialequitychallenge , akin to #21daysallychallenge

The structure was appealing: Read, Listen, Watch, Notice, Connect, Engage, Act ... every day coupled with REFLECTION

One of her messages that grabbed me - don't pretend that everything is OK right now.
