Day 20: Final Reflections

20

“None of us alone can save the nation or the world. But each of us can make a positive difference if we commit ourselves to do so.” – Cornel West 

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 and be intentional about processing the information you’re taking in.

Today’s Challenge

  • What are my social identities and in what ways have these identities shaped my life? Are there identities of mine that have afforded me access or privilege? Are there are identities that enabled barriers or oppression?  
  • What were some of my assumptions about race and racial inequity before I started this 21-day challenge? What did I learn that surprised me? What do I still want to learn more about?
  • Where have I noticed inequities and structural racism in my community?
  • I feel like taking anti-racist actions feels overwhelming, what do I want to remember? Where can I find support, inspiration, or alignment?
  • What actions can I take to create a more inclusive and equitable environment in my home, workplace, and community? 

More Group Discussion Prompts

  • What did this content open 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?
