Living in a melting pot means our neighbors, coworkers and friends may celebrate the holidays very differently than our families. While discussing religion can be taboo, it does not have to be this holiday season. In fact, we can learn more about our peers through their holiday celebrations. Listen in to learn how the holiday season is celebrated in a Jewish and a Buddhist household. Our peers, Helyn Hu and Steve Fishman share with us their favorite holiday traditions.
First episode of GreenState’s Unplugged dives into the difference between race and ethnicity. They focus on how conversations about race can be uncomfortable yet necessary to have with peers, friends and families. Kathy Simon, Missy Leighton, Ashley Clemons and Kenia Calderon Ceron share their own experiences with discussing their own race with others. Each are in their own learning journey and invite you to assess where you are at in your own DEI journey.
