REFLECTION QUESTION
Nature Spend Time Outside

Rachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?

Anita Bailey-Huff 10/03/2019 1:31 PM

Yes, It does ring true to me I love sitting outside, and I love the sound of rain as it is falling, nature is so beautiful to me, and it is so peaceful. The implications of a culture that is mostly inside is they are missing the beauty, and peace that nature gives, in this fast pace world, nature allows you to slow down, and regroup, refresh, and renew yourself, so you can take on the day

REFLECTION QUESTION
Health Know My health

How do you deal with the physical and emotional stress of the big problems we face? How can you help others cope?

Anita Bailey-Huff 10/03/2019 1:26 PM

I deal with the problems by praying, I am not sure there is an specific way to deal with problems we may face, so I would say is to think positive no matter what, align yourself with positive people, and do things that make you feel good, and that is healthy such as massage, walking, listening to soothing music, a walk on the beach etc, there is no easy way to tell a person how to cope, but keeping a good outlook is one way to cope

REFLECTION QUESTION
Community Support Businesses Owned by People of Color

Keen Independent Research Foundation conducted a recent study that highlights the disparities in the availability of city contracts and loans to businesses, and how this disparity correlates to owners as people of color. The study showed that Minority businesses enterprises (MBEs) are more likely to have difficulties in receiving loans or city contracts. In what ways can you address systemic racism like that demonstrated in this study?

Anita Bailey-Huff 10/03/2019 1:22 PM

One was is by making sure that city contracts, provide equity across the board to minority business owners, and to make sure they have a quota they have to at least meet to make sure Minority business are given loans at the rates other nationality groups are.
