For my Global Leadership class today we took a field trip to the Ohio Civil Rights Commission and met with the Executive Director Angela Phelps-White. She showed a power point teaching about what they do and defining discrimination. I learned about the steps they take when someone has been discriminated against. #investigation, #mediation, and #education. What I learned most was how many different ways someone can be discriminated against. There are so many different groups. Race, sex, medically, mentally, military, age, disability, etc. I have faced discrimination in my life and I feel like people need to be educated on what other people need and have #empathy and #Inclusion which was also discussed. Now going forward I'm going to be more inclusive because having people like that in life can teach me new things.

Today during my Columbus field trip with the Global Leadership Project, I visited the Ohio Civil Rights Commission. There I heard from guest speaker Angela Phelps-White who spoke about what the OCRC does and other things. The OCRC deals with "human to human relations" and takes cases to dispute them. They are stationed in 5 regions: Akron, Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton-Cincinnati, and Toledo. Their 3 primary functions are #Investigation, #Mediation, and #Education. Angela also talked about #discrimination, #diversity, and #equity. She described how important not only diversity, but equity, treating everyone fairly and impartially, is to life and society. She tells how there is a difference between #equality, and equity and uses the following analogy to differentiate them, equality is everyone having the exact same bike, while equity is everyone having the bike that works best for them. To end off, my takeaway from this experience that I will apply is a quote from Angela "It is not our differences that divide us, it is our in ability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences."
