My friends of color have told me about “the look.” This was also the topic at a recent Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion task committee meeting I led, prompted by an employee of color sharing her story.

If you aren’t familiar with “the look,” Procter and Gamble has produced this rich resource.

The video illustrates the unconscious bias and microaggressions that many people experience on a daily basis.

What was your reaction to the video? Have you ever made a judgment about someone without really knowing anything about them? Understanding that others’ experiences can be so different from our own is a first step in creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all.
