Eradicating Unconscious Bias One Game At A Time Has anyone in your company ever used a Microaggression? EVEN THE MOST WELL-INTENTIONED PERSON UNWILLINGLY ALLOWS UNCONSCIOUS THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS TO INFLUENCE APPARENTLY OBJECTIVE DECISIONS. -M. BANAJI My name is Ruby N Lewis. I am the owner of Unlimited Creative Corporations. I created this Microaggression board game originally for school board officials, faculty, teachers, and staff because of the many serious issues my daughter went through while attending Brick-and-Mortar Public Schools. From Kindergarten to the 4th grade, teachers, students, and faculty damaged my daughter with microaggressions, racism, and discrimination. Teachers allowed children to beat up my daughter and others to drag her down the hall of the school by her ankles. My daughter’s skin color became such a problem that by the time she reached the 4th grade, my daughter was not only suicidal and hated her skin color, but she also now had Urinary incontinence. I wanted to create an interactive way to help individuals understand what implicit bias is and how it gravely impacts mental health, especially for children, without having to lecture anyone for a long period of time. Businesses pay a price when employees feel they're experiencing bias. The Center for Talent Innovation found in 2017 that, compared to their peers who don't see bias, employees who perceive bias are more than three times as likely to leave their company; 2.6 times as likely to withhold ideas; and five times as likely to speak about their company in a negative way on social media. According to Business Insider, since 2018, companies like Google, Uber, Fox News, Riot Games, UPS, Coca-Cola, and Target have paid out multimillion-dollar settlements, and 2020 brought an even larger wave of high-profile cases. Since 2000, 99% of Fortune 500 companies have paid settlements in at least one discrimination or sexual harassment lawsuit, according to a report from Good Job First, and that's not including the cases without a public record or incidents victims didn’t report. A Harvard Business Review Study found that improperly designed and delivered diversity training may actually create less diverse organizations. Diversity Training has been proven to be very broad and basic. It strongly enhances people’s knowledge about other groups if you have a diverse trainer and training. It also affects people’s belief’s and how they behave towards others, but this effect fades over time. The same study found that people resist mandatory training, and that undermines the goals of the session, no matter how worthwhile and business critical. Instead of a class or a training, what if employees, teachers, students, and parents could just play an interactive board game in order to learn about unconscious bias and systemic racism? This All-New Board Game Has Proven Effective And Has Been Used For Various Companies Such As Clark College and the Vancouver NAACP 1139. Having this board game in stores worldwide would lessen cost to consumers and business owners, especially teachers and school board officials. This game uses empathy to put someone in someone else’s shoes in order to understand the implications of generational wealth, systemic racism, and implicit bias. This interactive game can be played in both business and in everyday social situations. Utilizing this board game in business practices worldwide, can drastically help companies eradicate implicit and unconscious bias. It can save companies millions of dollars in lawsuits every year. It can also help teachers and faculty be more effective with students and other employees. In closing, I invite you to try this board game out for yourselves, view the testimonials on our page, or even put this game in your stores and/or catalogs and see just how effective this board game really is.
