If we ever want to make the world a place where everyone is valued, young people must ask themselves these questions and develop empathy for those who are different.

For Black, Asian and staff of colour in particular as well as those who work to create inclusion, we have collated resilience, support and empowerment resourcesto navigate higher education and workplaces generally.If enough of these stories are told, then perhaps we will begin to see that our lives are the same story.

A new resource to help facilitate these difficult but necessary conversations is available this week. I want to continue to support employers to open up the conversation, sign the Race at Work Charter and address disparities as they come to light while being transparent about the actions they are taking to do so.The book Let's Talk about Race by Julius Lester is a picture, biography, and fiction book about people disliking people based on race.
