Additional quotes by Vernā Myers

When you look at another person [of the same race or ethnic group], you see your future success in them, but you don't see the same possibilities in those who are different.

Look at your Facebook feed, look at your Twitter feeds, and consider how diverse they are. Build relationships across differences. Get closer. Get uncomfortable.

Biases are the stories we make up about people before we learn who they are. They are especially apparent when things are high-risk, or you have to make quick decisions.

We were all the same, and then you had the nerve to be different. - Vernā Myers
