“I think every leader has to be willing to examine their own biases.” — Maya Wiley Quote

“I think every leader has to be willing to examine their own biases.”

“So, I was in a segregated, all black, public elementary school until fourth grade, until my father died. And that's when my mother transferred me to a private, predominantly white school and I saw both sides of the world at a very young age.”

“I am a Black woman raised by parents who were active in the civil-rights movement.”

“We're all human and bound to have personal preferences. The key is to make sure that we can still see what's really going on, despite those preferences, and honestly reflect upon our biases when the outcome isn't what 'makes sense' to us.”

“There are lots of research, of course, saying that a vast majority of us have been exposed to racial biases and stereotypes and, to some extent, we've internalized them, because that's so ubiquitous. That's why I'm so bored with the conversation about who's a racist and who's not.”
