Discover why all of us have unconscious bias, how it impacts
our life, and the lives of those around us in the workplace with
expert and attorney Kelly Charles-Collins as she shares with Mike
Domitrz. Learn how to avoid going from an unconscious bias to
engaging in discrimination.

extended family somewhere close to the water.
