Microaggressions are subtle, everyday exchanges that can cause real pain for members of equity-seeking groups.

They’re joined by HR attorney Liz Monnin-Browder, HR consultant Amy Scannell and Hologram's VP of People Courtney Seiter.

Leading an anti-racist organization takes more than just implicit bias training. Disrupting bias takes real work.
