I have never experienced discrimination due to my race or religious background. Growing up, I went to catholic schools, therefore I was always surrounded by others who shared the same religion as myself. There are times when I do feel uncomfortable in certain situations based on my gender. For examples, walking to my car at night or going out grocery shopping with my two small children. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to take this class so I can better educate myself on the issues of racial identity and privilege. With this knowledge, I can help better educate others and start real change.
