Ready to take it further? Use this short as a conversation starter about race and lived experience at work. Examine how race may shape everyday moments, from name mispronunciation and hair or accent policing, to being mistaken for junior staff or sidelined from client work. Consider how race interacts with microaggressions, how race influences who gets airtime in meetings, and how race disparities may appear in hiring, pay and performance reviews. Bring data to the discussion by asking what your race data shows across recruitment pipelines and promotion outcomes. Then convert insight into action with ted Learning’s EDI course, which offers practical race allyship skills, bystander tools and fair-process checklists so teams can address race bias, embed race equity goals and build a culture where everyone is respected and heard.
