Sometimes it can be frustrating as a non-American on a global platform, to begin courses that clearly have a bias toward an American audience.
Things I liked: I enjoyed that Toni, especially in part 4, expressed micro aggressions in the context of a primary culture, as I felt like this was something that could be applied no matter where you live, as in many places all cultures can feel marginalised if they are in a culture where they are in a minority.
Things I disliked: On one hand giving a compliment that could be seen as having a connectivity to a racial stereotype is coded language (but the only way to avoid that happening is for me to know the racial stereotypes, which in itself would make me racist), but on the other I should pull aside people of marginalised backgrounds and ask them if they are okay when I see a microaggression occur, like the story with Dave (Yet I'd only be doing that interaction because of their ethnic background, which is no different than racism)

Course details
In this course, Toni Lowe, a sought-after speaker and senior HR leader specializing in diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging, teaches you how to identify and address everyday, subtle, intentional and unintentional actions or behaviors that perpetuate bias toward marginalized groups in the workplace. Toni defines microaggression and identifies the three distinct types of microaggressions: microassaults, microinsults, and microinvalidations. While the word "micro" means "small," each instance of microaggression has a big impact on the employee experience, physical health, and psychological well-being. Toni provides actionable steps you can take to create safe spaces in the workplace for coping and developing a support system. She discusses how to effectively address past behaviors directly with the offender or through a third party, then walks you through how to deal with microaggressions in real time. Toni concludes with her three-step framework for dealing with microaggression.
