Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Anu Gupta and Dr. Angel Acosta discuss the importance of capacity building in the context of social justice and combating bias. Anu's new book, "Breaking Bias," explores the need for a consciousness shift to address inequity and injustice. He emphasizes the PRISM toolkit, which includes mindfulness, stereotype replacement, individuation, heart practices, and perspective-taking to reduce bias. Anu highlights the interconnectedness of internal and external capacity building, drawing parallels to historical social movements and the evolving human consciousness. He stresses the importance of collective effort and interdependence in building the next civil rights movement for the 21st century.
