Headlee not only talks about race professionally, she also strikes up conversations casually. Here she shares a guide to talking about race with friends, family members, and people in your community. In the examples she shared about racial and political divides, I was surprised how finding just a little bit in common (liking dogs or the same TV shows) can help spark a connection that can lead to bigger conversations.
TrishB The police where I live reported that Islamic hate crimes went down 50% when Muslim players started playing for the local football team. Shocking that it happens- but I think the point about bridging gaps etc is borne out here. 3y
Megabooks @TrishB exactly! One of the real-life examples in the book was a neo-Nazi appointed to the same local school committee as a black woman and how that helped him change his beliefs. It‘s amazing how things like these work. 3y
