Test Your Awareness: Do The Test
This video shows us the importance of paying attention, and how much more we see when we are looking for particular things around us. Use each question below separately as one day’s challenge:

  • Who is and is not represented in ads you’ve seen lately?

  • As you move through the day, what is the racial composition of the people around you?  

  • What are the last 5 books you read? What is the racial mix of the authors?

  • What is the racial mix of the main characters in your favorite TV shows and movies?

  • What is the racial mix of public figures you follow on social media (authors, podcast hosts, bloggers, etc)?

  • Who is filling what kinds of jobs/social roles in your world? Can you correlate any of this to racial identity?
