YWCA Pasadena-Foothill Valley

In today's challenge, we will be discussing white fragility - a state where even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable for white people, triggering a range of defensive responses and behaviors. In order to move toward racial equity, white fragility needs to be deconstructed. Join the challenge to learn more about moving towards racial equity - https://buff.ly/2Ki5uH6 #YWCA21DayChallenge.

Day 4 of the challenge examines implicit bias. The term implicit bias describes when we have attitudes toward people or associate stereotypes with them without our conscious knowledge. Everyone has some form of implicit bias. It is critical that we recognize, stay aware of, and learn to correct for the biases we carry.
