Day 20: Final Reflections

Blue background with white text that reads Day 20

Today’s challenge is to take time to reflect on your experience over the past 20 days. Research shows that a critical component to learning is taking time to reflect or being intentional about processing the lessons being taught by your experiences.

Today’s Challenge

Reflection

  • What are my identities and in what ways have my identities impacted my life? Are there identities of mine that have provided me higher social capital or privilege in certain environments, or vice versa?
  • What were some of my assumptions about race and racial inequity before I started this 21-day challenge? In what ways have these assumptions been challenged? In what ways have they been reinforced?
  • Where have I seen evidence of inequities and systemic and structural racism in my community?
  • What actions can I take to create a more inclusive and equitable environment in my home, workplace, and community?

More Group Discussion Prompts

  • What opened up for you?
  • What’s still sticking with you?
  • Tell us about an “aha” or “ouch” moment, or a moment that broke you open.
  • How are you going to take this information and apply it?
  • What action will you commit to?
  • What action will you drive forward within your group/organization/community?
  • What’s next for you? What’s next for us?
