How Can We Make What We Do Matter?

          It is important to have all these conversations about race because we get to learn more about ourselves and our classmates. So many of us don't understand each other, have misconceptions or questions or are too afraid to speak up to become more knowledgeable. This class creates an open, judgement-free environment where we can be ourselves. Almost all of us have shared these incredibly personal stories that allows us to reflect and bond. I have said on occasion that when we allow others to get a better look at who we are and what we have gone through as individuals, it strikes a chord. These stories allow the emergence of empathy, sympathy, understanding and action. 

Right now, social media is the big connecting factor among the world. In order for us to make what we do matter, I believe that incorporating as much social media and technology as possible will be advantageous.
