One key element of this challenge is to build the awareness, skill and will to challenge. Challenge distorted history, stereotypes, implicit biases, single stories and the continued use of discriminatory practices that prevent progress.

This also means challenging our own ideas, perceptions, and understandings by actively experiencing things through a racial equity lens, and resetting our view of the world to see all people as individuals rather than members of a certain group that we have (consciously or unconsciously) affixed with labels and expectations.
