LISTEN AND LEARN: On Nov. 30, 2020, juniors Madison Reaves and Bianca Bays, alongside science teacher Marla Utley, share their experiences with racial microaggressions during this DEI Task Force meeting in the school chapel. Open discussions and forums like this are frequently used by the student-leaders of the Task Force to facilitate conversations about topics that are often uncomfortable to talk about. “I believe that the DEI Task Force responded really well with the responses that were given,” Reaves said. “The room was filled with understanding faces—there was no judgement. It was just a safe zone to talk about what happens and what Bianca, Mrs. Utley, and I have unfortunately gone through.” (Photo courtesy of Brigette Ramirez)
