Starbucks May 29th Racial Bias Training
On May 29th, Starbucks closed 8,000 stores in the US for four hours to come together for a nationwide conversation and learning session on racial bias.
People shared life experiences, listened to each other, listened to experts on bias + racial anxiety, reflected on the realities of bias in our society and talked about how all of us can work together to create public spaces where everyone feels like they belong.
Racial bias has limited people for centuries and overcoming it is the essential foundation for the work that comes next.
