Our Racial Equity Study Group had the distinct honor of viewing a video created by the Seeking Insights for Solutions (SIS) group. SIS is an interest group within the University Women of Flagler, which was established to promote equity for women and girls, lifelong education and positive societal change. They are located in Flagler Beach, Florida.

SIS was formed to study and understand the issue of race and equality in the United States. They held cross-racial interviews to better understand how our differing “races” have impacted and continue to impact our lives. The video we watched was created from these interviews. They used a clever technique where four SIS members serve as “actors” to verbalize what was reported in the cross-racial conversations.

After our RESG members viewed the video, we went into Zoom breakout rooms each led by two SIS members and one AAWGT member. Then, after those discussions, we regrouped as a whole and shared what each learned.

The SIS members were generous in giving their time to us, and RESG members were eager to hear the SIS members' experiences and to learn from them. We are indebted to this amazing group of women and we plan to keep the conversation going.
