Racism is pervasive and often subtly conveyed through microaggressions – everyday comments or actions that, while seemingly harmless, can have profound effects on marginalized communities. These acts can range from invasive personal space invasions to damaging stereotypes, which erode self-esteem and perpetuate systemic racism. To combat this, areas of focus should include education, awareness, self-reflection, and advocacy. The ultimate goal is a more inclusive and equitable society where everyone feels valued and respected.
