- Episode 30: Miriam recently had an experience with implicit bias and she wants us to think about how as a society we can think about overcoming implicit bias. Every human being has implicit bias and often they are unconscious. How do we bring our biases to the conscious realm in order to release them. I have been encountering implicit bias and racism since I was a teenager. How do we bring these biases to the conscious mind, change them and adopt new perspectives that allow the inclusion of members of racial minorities, women and LGBT+ groups. How do we as a society work on our biases because they hurt certain groups who encounter them time and again
