The Connection Between DEI and Mindfulness and Why DEI Dismantles Racism in America

In this episode, Sarah unpacks the important relationship between DEI programming and mindfulness. Implicit bias is unconscious negative automatic thinking about certain people and groups. Implicit bias is a function of the human brain and is a key factor in perpetuating racism. Nobody is exempt from this brain activity, however, we can reduce our implicit biases with mindfulness skills. Learn why implicit bias once was important to human survival, and how now this brain mechanism is harmful. Also, learn about several other brain skills we have been evolved to use that were once important to our survival but now are problematic and lead to anxiety and depression.
